Hi, I just installed comodo backup, and I tried to set up a very simple scan that would copy to an external hard drive. I have physically copied the files myself, so there are no user permission errors. I get A log somewhat like the following:
Test of a simple backup:

In all cases nothing actually changed in J:\Desktop backup, even if the files were already there. I know there was a post with a similar problem, but no solution was reached.
This computer is roughly a year old, and is very simple XP SP2, minimal software running.
