- A NAND backup will start. You can watch the progress on the screen.
- "Bad Blocks" are normal. Don't worry when you see some on a NAND backup.
- After this step, it will verify the backup. While it is recommended, it can be skipped by pressing the EJECT button on your Wii. Note that if you have a disc inserted in the disc drive, pressing EJECT will also eject the disc.
- After this step, it will verify the backup. Ideally, all the blocks should be green after the verification process.

To restore from a NAND backup on your SD card, you can follow these instructions using RestoreMii. This is useful in the unlikely case you brick your Wii.

To restore from a NAND backup on your SD card, you can follow the instructions for [RestoreMii](bootmiirecover).

Please be reminded that <strong>restoring a NAND backup is usually a last resort,</strong> and that there often better ways to fix your brick.

Try your best to [identify your brick condition](bricks) and reverse the action that caused it in the first place.
</div>

To make sure you don’t lose the files, it's recommended to copy `nand.bin` and `keys.bin` from the root of your SD card to your computer.

#### What you need
- An earlier NAND Backup made by [BootMii](https://wii.guide/bootmii)
- A GameCube Controller*

If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at [email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

#### Important notes

<strong> Restoring a NAND backup is usually a last resort.</strong>

If you are even able to enter BootMii, enter the Homebrew Channel instead, and try your best to [identify what caused the brick](bricks) and reverse it.
* If you have not done anything to cause a brick (or you're starting up your Wii after a long time), then it is probably a [Wi-Fi Brick](bricks#wi-fi-brick).

<strong>Family edition Wiis (Wiis without GameCube ports) CANNOT restore NAND backups.</strong>

Family edition Wiis released very well after [boot1 was patched](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Family_Edition#Changes_carried_over_from_previous_revisions), which means you will not have BootMii as boot2.

If you do not have BootMii as boot2, RestoreMii will prompt you for the Konami code via a GameCube Controller.

Family edition Wiis do not have ports for GameCube controllers.

If you didn't install BootMii nor don't have a NAND backup, please install it and do a backup. You cannot restore a NAND backup from a USB.
{: .notice--warning}
<strong>Restoring an unverified NAND backup may lead to a WORSE BRICK.</strong>

Wii consoles with no GameCube controller ports CANNOT RECOVER from a NAND backup. This is because recovering from a NAND backup while having BootMii as IOS is dangerous.
{: .notice--danger}
#### Requirements
The same also goes for faulty SD cards.

- [BootMii](https://wii.guide/bootmii)
- An SD card
- NAND Backup
<strong>Want to restore individual data from your NAND backup?</strong>

There is likely a much safer and faster way to bring it back to your Wii, likely involving the use of Dolphin Emulator.

For example, if you want to restore your Wii message board data, use Dolphin to import your NAND backup, find `Wii/title/00000001/00000002/data/cdb.vff`, copy it to your SD card as `cdbackup.vff`, and use [cdbackup](https://oscwii.org/library/app/cdbackup) to restore it.

If you want to restore a game's save data, use Dolphin to import your NAND backup, use `Tools > Export All Wii Saves` to export all your saves to your SD card, and use Data Management to move it to your Wii.

#### Instructions

If you have BootMii installed as boot2 you will need to launch BootMii by restarting the console. Skip steps 1 and 2 if this is the case.
