343364	2005-04-10 05:48:00	I have a file named: cdrivebackup.nri identified as a Nero CD-Rom (ISO) file. Is this a backup of the customers c drive or an image to create a cd from? Could someone please explain this in simple terms for me. Many thanks	NZHawk (4093)
343365	2005-04-10 05:56:00	As its says its a Nero file. NRI is like an iso file, so you'll need Nero / Nero Express to extract it to a blank cd. It extracts whatever is in that iso / NRI file onto a cd, so it can be used.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
343366	2005-04-10 06:08:00	Thank you - very clear. Final clarification: If I burn this nri file to a cd, am I or am I not burning the files that make up the .nri file? or do I need to double click on the .nri file to start the burning to cd session? Background: someone has this cdrivebackup.nri file on a cd-rw. Everytime they put the cd in & open nero, nero reads it & states there are some updates & they continue to "burn" the updates assuming that they are backing up all their data in My Documents. But, when they put the cd in without nero open & they browse it all they see is the cdrivebackup.nri file. If their computer would bomb, would this cdrivebackup.nri file & nero be used to restore their data? Thank you again	NZHawk (4093)
343367	2005-04-10 06:27:00	Yup thats right if u use Nero Express it should extract it to another cd . (I'm pretty sure its similar to an iso file . (The NRI option appears in Nero Express, under Disk Image or saved project) . And it says a cd-rom (ISO) compilation . I think you're talking about creating a data cd which uses multisession (this way u can add more files to whatever is on the cd already) . Not too sure why this NRI file is on cd, it should, or may have been better extracting it to a hard drive . Someone's getting confused, on what option to use . Since in order to see it again, it'll have to be extracted onto CD, to see whats on it . I dont think a NRI file is the same as a multisession cd in Nero . Theyre different . If you select data disk thru Nero Express, add the files u want on the cd, and tick multisession, you SHOULD be able to see whats on it without Nero, when u open My computer / Windows Explorer . I dont use Nero to back up myself . BUT I use Nero for other things, making audio cd's . dvd's etc . I just store updates on a spare partition on the hdd, and format when I have to . Then install the updates after .	Speedy Gonzales (78)

343369	2005-04-22 02:10:00	I have decided that this was not a true back up of the customers data and have advised them to convert of DVD or external hdd for back up method. Thank you for your help on this issue.	NZHawk (4093)
