Nero today announced its cooperation with Verbatim. The USB models in the new generation of Verbatim Portable Hard Drives in the 2.5-inch format and the external hard drives in the 3.5-inch format will be supplied with the successful backup software Nero BackItUp 2 Essentials.

Nero BackItUp 2 Essentials makes it easy to plan and perform backups of individual files as well as entire systems and drives. Its automatic backup function enables data to be backed up regularly at a specified time. If desired, the data can be protected against unauthorized access with a password. Nero BackItUp 2 Essentials compresses data during transfer, keeping the volume of backup data low.

“As a manufacturer of high-quality external hard drives, Verbatim is an excellent cooperation partner for Nero,” said Patrick Peeters, General Manager EMEA at Nero AG. “Nero BackItUp 2 Essentials ideally complements the new generation of 2.5-inch hard drives and the new external hard drives in the 3.5-inch format, offering users maximum convenience in data backup.”

“We have found a competent partner for backup software in Nero,” said Kai Miroschnik, Business Unit Manager Multi Media & Peripherals at Verbatim EUMEA. “Nero BackItUp 2 Essentials is a software solution that enables professional data backup for both business and private users.”

Verbatim’s new generation of external hard drives combines modern design with the latest technology and is available in stores now. Further information on Nero BackItUp is available at http://www.nero.com.
