I went to NTI’s website and looked for an update. Unfortunately, the NTI Backup NOW! 4.0.2202 update, which is listed for NTI Backup NOW! 4.0.2202 or earlier does not install on the Acer-branded version of Backup NOW! that ships with the Ferrari 4000 notebook because it isn’t a “Full/Retail version” of the software. Ironically, NTI’s CD & DVD Maker 7 bundled with the Ferrari 4000 does not engage in this kind of digital monkey-business with file names. Updates specifically for the Acer- notebook only version are available on the NTI website. Since CD & DVD Maker and Backup NOW! are two separate packages an integrated suite like Roxio’s/Sonic’s Easy Media Creator 7, as they appear to be, applying the update to CD & DVD Maker 7 has no effect on Backup NOW!
