You need an **SD card** to create a NAND backup using BootMii.
If you do not have one, you can skip this page, although it is highly recommended to create one if you can.

One of BootMii's most important features is the ability to backup and restore your Wii's NAND storage. We will be going over how to perform a NAND backup. You can then restore from that backup for whatever reason. It's a good idea to make a NAND backup regularly or before doing something risky to your console (and if you know what you're doing, you won't have to do anything risky).

To restore from a NAND backup on your SD card, you can follow these instructions using RestoreMii (the icon with the red arrow, aka the second icon on your left). This is useful in the unlikely case you brick your Wii.

Here's a list of things you should and should not do once you've modded your Wii, to make sure you don't brick it.
#### List
**DO** make sure you've installed [BootMii](/bootmii) and [Priiloader](/priiloader) to make sure you don't brick your Wii.
**DO** make backups of your Wii NAND regularly with [BootMii](/bootmii).
**DO** install Wii Menu themes if you wish, but only use [our tutorial for it](/themes) carefully. Other tutorials aren't guaranteed to work properly.
**DO NOT** install WADs of random IOS, older versions of the Wii Menu, etc. unless you know what you're doing, especially not on vWii or a Wii Mini.
**DO NOT** or use old versions of Wii homebrew. If you follow Wii modding tutorials from the Internet, be cautious about using old tutorials (likely pre-2012), especially if they have to do with things such as IOS.
**DO NOT** modify, rename, or delete random files on your Wii NAND unless you know what you are doing.
**DO NOT** use the homebrew app "KoreanKii" on a non-Korean Wii.
**DO NOT** use any Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection replacement on your Wii except for [Wiimmfi](/wiimmfi). Unfortunately, other replacement servers are vulnerable to an exploit that can brick your Wii if you use them. [RiiConnect24](/riiconnect24) is safe to use as well.
If you follow these guidelines, you won't have to worry about bricking your Wii. Wii modding is safe, and bricks usually occur due to something done by the user that is on this list.
Continue to installing cIOS<br>
cIOS are used to play games with a USB Loader. It's also useful for many other homebrew apps.
