Users can choose incremental or differential backups. Incremental backups back up only the data that has been modified or added since the last backup, whether the first full backup or an earlier incremental backup. A differential backup refers to a type of backup update or extension. With a differential backup, only the data that has been modified or added since the first full backup is backed up.

Both of these are possible, depending on which backup option the user selects (i.e. local AutoBackup, 1:1, drives/files/folders backups or browsable archives).

Syncing lets you always have the most recent versions of your files close at hand. With Nero BackItUp & Burn you can keep your files updated by automatically synchronizing multiple copies of individual files.
