COMODO Backup

COMODO Backup has tons of great features for a free backup program. It can backup registry files, files and folders, email accounts, particular registry entries, IM conversations, browser data, partitions, or entire disks like the system drive.

Data can be backed up to a local or external drive, CD/DVD, network folder, FTP server, or sent to someone as an email.

Various backup file types are supported like creating a CBU, ZIP, or ISO file as well as running a two way or one way sync, using a regular copy function, or creating a self-extracting CBU file.

Depending on the backup file type you use with COMODO Backup, you can specify if it should be spliced into smaller pieces, compressed, and/or password protected.

The scheduling options are very specific, enabling a backup to run manually, at logon, once, daily, weekly, monthly, when idle, or every so many minutes. Missed jobs can even be configured to run in silent mode so as to suppress all notifications and program windows.

Restoring files with COMODO Backup is really easy because you can mount the image file as a disk and browse through the backed up files as you would in Windows Explorer, copying out anything you wish. Alternatively, you can just restore the whole backup image to the original location.

COMODO Backup also supports email notifications, file exclusions by extension type, using Volume Shadow Copy for copying locked files, disk/partition mirroring, changingCPU and network priority, and running a custom program before and/or after a backup job.
