Nero backup freezes

[Guest Hamish]

I have been using Nero backup for 2 years, to make two backup DVDs a

week. About a month ago it was making a backup disk, burnt it OK, but

hung up during the data verification stage. I came to the computer two

hours later and the DVD burner was still spinning. The computer was so

hung up that in order to clear the hang I had to pull the power cord.

After that, I re-loaded the Nero suite, re-set-up my two backup jobs

(each about 3 gB), set one of them up to run right away, and it hung up

again.

 

I have checked the backup disks and they seem to contain the proper

data. So the program still writes the backups OK. It's just that it

does not complete the verify, it does not stop, and can't be stopped

using task manager.

Have you considered asking on a Nero forum, for example:
