I use Windows 7 64 bit version. I am using your excellent Comodo Backup however I have one problem in that, although it is in the startup folder, I have to start the backup manually by clicking on the ‘Comodo Backup’ icon. I thought it was start it and forget it? Is there any way round this please?
Thanks

Can’t backup anywhere. Comodo can’t connect to the network, won’t backup to the computer (I mapped the network drive to try to use it as a drive on the laptop) because it won’t accept the filenames I choose (several, long and short) for the backup and doesn’t produce a logfile though I have set it to.

I think the product works quite well. The only hitch I see at present is the ability to “mirror folders.” In other words, if a file was to be deleted from the source folder, is would also be deleted from the destination folder as well. Also, in Synchronize mode, when you create a new file, it does in fact creat a duplicate file in the destination folder. However, it would be helpful if the user DELETES a file in the source folder that that file also gets deleted in the destination folder.

Wow! I’ve tried just about all of the backup software out there. I finally settled on Comodo. The writers of this software nailed it for me. The GUI is very good with popup windows opening with clear easy choices. The only minor issue I have is I would like them to have to allow a user to choose larger icons as the ones in the program are pretty small. However, this programs works so well I can overlook this issue. It reminds me a little of synchback, but sooooo much easier to set up. This is a must have utility.

You’re both right. I’ve tested this one a lot and feel very satisfied with the ease of use.

Nirmal, Comodo backup is really good, I would definitely give it a shot. I’ve tried a bunch and like this one the best myself.

Softwares from Comodo are really good ones. I have not tried this back up utility, will give it a try.
