How do you backup ... Backup?

G'day,

The code shown below in RED will backup the registry entries for Comodo backup to a folder called "c:\cbubackup". It contains a sub-folder called "prior". The "prior" folder contains the immediately prior version to the one currently being backed up. This gives us two fall back positions.

You can modify the destination by changing the "c:\cbubackup" entries with the destination of your choice. Don't forget to change the " [ at ] " in the top line to the real "at" symbol.

Yes, this is a quick and dirty solution, but its a quick and dirty problem. LOL

Many thanks to Rotty for the CPF backup script this is based on.
