Comodo's suggestion to do backups to a CD/DVD is to do the backup to your hard drive or a virtual drive and then burn the backup to a CD/DVD with your burning program. Despite Comodo's claim to the contrary, there is no way to do a backup directly to a CD/DVD. I installed Nero's InCD hoping that this program would detect the formatted DVD as another hard drive, but it would not. I really like this program's interface and the clean backups it does to a hard drive, but I need to do backups to a CD/DVD. Hopefully, Comodo will resolve this issue in the future and provide a better solution to doing backups to a DVD. This is an excellent program as long as you don't need to do backups to a DVD. I ended up going with GFI Backup on this website since it will do backups directly to either the CD/DVD drive or to the CD/DVD drive with InCD formatting; in the latter case, it treats the DVD drive just like another hard drive.

I have been using this for about 6 months now and have found it fantastic for my purposes. I use the synchronization settings to backup whatever I am working on most to another hard drive so I have a constant backup. I have not noticed any slowing of my computer. I have also used all the backup modes with great success. I have found this to be one of the more easier programs to use in that the different backup modes are fully self explanatory.

This program is like a deluxe version of the Windows Briefcase, only with far more features. There are plenty of configuration options, but one feature that I would have liked to see is a preview mode showing files that will be copied, deleted or overwritten when the backup is run. While not strictly necessary, it is useful and can prevent mistakes being made. Other than that, a useful piece of software.

While I like this backup software, have used it enough in the past, I feel it has some compatibility issues. Had issue with it crashing. Not sure if due to using the C-firewall or what. Had one or two errors when it went to do a self run and it quit. Not often or anything but Syncback hasn't quit on me once in all the time I've used it so I think I'll stay with that for now. This is still an excellent bk tool though and worth a check. If my issue is due to firewall, then I keep the C-firewall over the other products by them and this is no exception. If I find why the crashes occurred, I will fix my rating.
