[Guest]

[Emanuel Sescu]

Hello,
   
We are happy to announce that COMODO Backup 4.0.7 was released to public.
This is an update for 4.0 version and it contains improvements and bug fixing.

What's fixed & improved (compared to 4.0.6)
----------------------------------------------
- CBU.exe crash at startup on some machines
- crashes with COS Service
- reduced memory consumption up to 4 times when performing incremental backup for a large number of files > 200000
- improved logging when performing incremental backup for a large number of files. The program seemed to hang at "Comparing information" step.
- improved CBU.exe startup speed
- error 29 which occurred sometimes when performing second incremental on large files (> 4GB)
- explorer.exe which hanged sometimes when CB and COS are both installed
- Huge memory and speed optimizations in CB Wizard
- Thumbnail previews for more files in CB Wizard
- Misc user interface fixes in CB Wizard.
- some typos for Turkish and German languages (according to feedback) and other typos
- issues with task to run before/after backup in a script file
- fixed abort issue when a chunk is missing during restore. Restore could not be aborted
- CBWizard issue which forced logout during backup operation on Online Storage
- CBWizard crash when creating incremental backups
- The “Register for free” option in the CB Wizard
- CB Wizard detecting files in the Recycle bin
- missing "Unmount" shell extension option
- synchronization issues to COS
- Synchronization service which may have been reported sometimes as not started when start was pending


Known issues:
----------------------------------------

- CB 4.0.7 is not compatible with COS 2.0.6 and older versions. You should update the COS client to 2.0.7 if you have it installed, otherwise online backup operations won't work.
- Sometimes the installation may take longer to complete
- Some times there might be a delay when logging into the COS account
- Double-clicking the executable may cause the cbu.exe process to appear without the CB user interface
- CB may crash sometimes when submitting files to the FLS or when elevating with administrator rights

Let's see how this compares to syncback 

[casachit]

still not of acronis true image level... comodo backup needs lot of work...it still lacks lot of features..

CB is very much improved since v3, and is improving all the time, and it's FREE.. Acronis is not! Which features do you find it lacks, please discuss in this thread so they can read & we can discuss.. they do take note of suggestions.

Looking forward to reading your input/ideas

I see no comparison.

The only feature needed for me to consider CBU the most complete solution is integrated recovery CD creation.

pls do tell us what we are missing....the more you tell us the more we develop...thank you..

Besides the recovery disk, one of the great feature of Acronis is the 11 key which allows you to backup or recover your system at boot time.

[Ronny]

Suggestion:
At the end of a backup it shows a green check-mark + Done even if there where error's in the above logging.
Can this be changed to 'Finished with errors' and maybe an orange warning icon?

This will give the user a better hint to the fact that there were errors during the backup.

A thing Syncback does is repeat the error lines at the end of the log so the user doesn't have to scroll trough all the 'non-error' lines.

One could also mark lines with errors in the front with a Red X icon so it sticks out more.

Also below the progress marker it shows "The backup process has been completed successfully" even if there where errors during the backup?!
I'd make that "The backup process has been completed with errors".

[Ronny]

Suggestion:
If you ran a backup and did not specify a log file then it would be nice if the GUI would have a 'Save Log' option so you still can decide to save the log.
After Step4 is done, before pressing 'Finish'.

I run an Incremental backup Files+Simple Copy.
Now I run a second incremental backup and cause a folder in the source to be inaccessible (CIS Block files) then the files in those folders get deleted from the destination??

Am I missing something? why would this be deleting files in the destination?
It's incremental backup it should 'only add changed files in the source' to the destination right?
Deleting files in the destination suggests some form of 'synchronization' in my point of view.

+1

Also it maybe a lot to ask, but could the size of a CBU Back-Up File of Disk, Partitions, MBR be reduced? With Acronis my 320Gb Drive becomes about a 30 - 40 GB File - With CBU it is about 120GB :-(

Just the Rescue Disk.
