Hello,
We are happy to announce that COMODO Backup 4.0.6 was released to public.
The new website is available here: http://backup.comodo.com
What's new: (compared to 3.0)
----------------------------------------------
- Automatic scan for certain file types (pictures, documents, music, video) and preview of these file types with the new eye-catchy CBWizard
- 5GB free Online Storage
- Default backup type is incremental
- Cbu file properties in explorer to show extended backup information
- Schedule to run every X minutes
- Success & error email notifications for backup contain log file as attachment (if a log file was specified).
- COS setup is optional to install with CB
- All logs are located in %TEMP%\ComodoLogsFolder (user programs) and \Windows\Temp\ComodoLogsFolder (services) for debugging easier any issues. They should be posted with each bug report.
What's improved: (compared to 3.0)
----------------------------------------------
- More detailed logging including size of the backup compressed / uncompressed when finished
- All advanced backup/restore settings were grouped in backup/restore step 3
- Descriptive text for error codes encountered during backup / restore
- All strings are translated in all languages except logging strings and some strings in setup. You can help us improve existing translations here.

- Better speed for file&directories cbu backup / restore
