You seen to be this weeks poster person about backup programs. I've learned to not use them for just such a reason.
Instead I just backup a zip file or the files to multiple DVDRWs using plain old recorder programs. Very safe.

After seious crashes I had to reformat system and a few external HDs. During this process I lost my Nero backup files. Fortunately, I was able to recover several nbi's. Tried to use recovery from BackItUp and every time I'm getting a message that information file is corrupted. Also, BackItUp doesn't see those files. It must be, I guess, some main file directing to those back ups on other drive that I lost. However, when I'm doing search I'm able to extract specified nbo files except that - same problem. 'Twice clickin on file gives me another message that it can't read it. I'm aware that Nero is using some compression (like zip) scheme but no utility that I know can unzip Nero format. I have a lot of important files in thos nbi's that I lost somewhere else. Is there any way (or utility) to ''unlock'' or/and repair those nbi's? Any other idea? Nero support wasn't helpful at all. I'm also glad from using their product what was their common answer.
