{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
BootMii allows for backing up and restoring your Wii's NAND storage. This page will guide you in backing up your Wii's NAND to an SD Card, which you can then use however you like.
Family edition Wiis (Wiis without GameCube ports) CANNOT restore NAND backups. This is because of the lack of GameCube ports which are required on non-boot2 Wiis to enter the restoration confirmation code. Regardless, it is still recommended to make one on these consoles.

BootMii allows for backing up and restoring your Wii's NAND storage.
This page will guide you in backing up your Wii's NAND to an SD Card, which you can then use however you like.
You need an **SD card** to use BootMii at all, but especially to create a NAND backup. If you do not have an SD card on hand right now, you can skip this page, but it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to return to this page later to back up your NAND.
{: .notice--warning}
Navigating BootMii is not possible using a Wii Remote. You must use the POWER and RESET buttons on your console, or a GameCube controller plugged into port 1. To navigate between options, press POWER on your Wii (or left/right on the +Control Pad on a GameCube controller). To select an option, press RESET on your Wii or A on your GameCube controller. You will NEED to use a GameCube controller to restore a NAND backup in the future if BootMii is installed as IOS.

If the `Launch BootMii` button does not appear in the Homebrew Channel, [re-launch the HackMii Installer](hackmii) and install BootMii.
