Backup Entire Registry - Makes a full copy of the Windows Registry. (Backs up a copy of the files where the registry entries are stored).

The Windows registry is a huge, constantly referenced, archive for collecting and storing the configuration settings of Windows components and installed software and hardware. Whenever you perform a task such as installing or removing a program or modifying a file on your computer, Windows creates an entry in the Windows Registry to reflect this change. It is difficult to over-estimate the important of the registry to Windows users because the entire operating system is so heavily reliant upon it. One corrupted or deleted registry key could bring your system crashing to a standstill. It is therefore a highly recommended practice to take regular backups of your registry so that, in the event of catastrophe, you can quickly roll back your system to its last working state. For the same reason, it is also a good idea to backup your registry before you install new software or hardware drivers.

Check for updates - Starts the process of searching for latest updates for Comodo BackUp.

3. The Backup Job and Update Information The bottom pane provides a summary of backup information and update information.

Backup Info- Gives at a glance details on when the last BackUp job was executed and the Scheduled BackUp jobs.

2 Creating a Backup Job

In order to create copies of your data you have to create one or more backup jobs. During the creation of a backup job you will choose which type of data you wish to backup (source), how to backup (backup settings), where you want your backed up files to be stored (destination) and when to backup (schedule the job) . For example, you may want to backup your My Documents folder daily onto another hard drive for safekeeping. Configuring a Backup job consists of six simple steps: Step 1: Select the type of backup (Choose which kind of data you wish to backup) Step 2: Configure the backup job settings Step 3: Choose the destination of your backup Step 4: Configure the advanced backup Settings Step 5: Specify a schedule for the backup (if required) Step 6: Finalization To create a BackUp job, click the Backup tab from the main interface.

www.comodo.com

2.1 Selecting the Type of Backup

The first stage of the process is to choose which 'Type' of data you want to backup. Comodo BackUp allows the user to backup entire drives; select multiple or individual files and folders to backup; take complete or partial backups of the Windows registry and backup important system settings. Conveniently, the program also contains 'preset' backup jobs that allow the user to make copies of their emails, IM messages and personal Windows user settings. In some cases, after selecting the type (or 'Source') of backup you want from the upper panel you will need to make a further selection from the lower panel. More details on each of the BackUp types can be found by clicking the links below. If you have already decided upon your backup type and don't need any more explanation on this area then click here to skip straight to step 2 Backup Settings.

Disk, Partitions and Master Boot Record (MBR); Files and Folders; Entire Registry;

www.comodo.com

Custom Registry; User Settings; Mail Accounts; Messenger Archive and Settings; System Files.

Disk, Partition and Master Boot Record You can backup the contents of the entire hard disk drive or specific partition in your computer and/or the Master Boot Record (MBR) of that drive. ( Background note: The MBR is the very first sector on the hard drive and contains the instructions necessary for a computer to start up. It is also known as the 'Boot Sector'. Backing up the MBR (preferably to a separate physical drive or removable media) will help to recover a drive should the original MBR become corrupted and the machine un-bootable.) To backup the whole Disk drive, drive partition(s) and/or the MBR, select the radio button along side the 'Disk, Partitions and MBR'

www.comodo.com

The right hand side lower pane displays the options for selecting the item to be backed up.

To backup the whole hard disk in your system, select the checkbox beside the Disk0. This will include the boot partition and all the other individual partitions.

To backup the MBR, select the checkbox beside the Track0 and MBR. To select the individual drive partitions, CD/DVD or the USB memory, select the checkbox beside the respective partition drive letter.

Click Next. Alternately, you can also select a desired drive partition to be backed up, from the Windows Explorer window. Right click on the desired drive and select 'CBU BackUp'

If you want the disk partition in which the Windows is installed, click the button 'Backup System Partition' in the left hand pane. The process moves to Step 2.

www.comodo.com

Files and Folders This option allows you to manually browse your local or network file structure and select specific files or folders for backup. Selecting only the files and folders you require gives you the flexibility to create precise, custom jobs that encompass files scattered across multiple locations into a single, consolidated, backup routine. Handpicking files and folders in this manner may also help to save time and disk space (especially important to users with limited resources or if the application is to be used in a networked environment on multiple workstations) To backup only selected folders or files, select the radio button along side the 'Files and Directories'

The right hand side lower pane displays the disk partitions and folders in a tree structure.

Navigate to the file(s) or the folder(s) you want to backup and select the checkbox(s) beside the required item(s).

Note: Selecting a folder will backup all the subfolders and the files in it.

Click Next. Alternately, you can also select a desired file/folder to be backed up, from the Windows Explorer window. Right click on the desired item and select 'CBU BackUp'

www.comodo.com

The process moves to Step 2. Entire Registry The Windows registry is a huge, constantly referenced, archive for collecting and storing the configuration settings of Windows components and installed software and hardware. Whenever you perform a task such as installing or removing a program or modifying a file on your computer, Windows creates an entry in the Windows Registry to reflect this change. It is difficult to over-estimate the important of the registry to Windows users because the entire operating system is so heavily reliant upon it. One corrupted or deleted registry key could bring your system crashing to a standstill. It is therefore a highly recommended practice to take regular backups of your registry so that, in the event of catastrophe, you can quickly roll back your system to its last working state. For the same reason, it is also a good idea to backup your registry before you install new software or hardware drivers. To backup the Windows Registry completely, select the radio button beside 'Entire Registry'.

www.comodo.com

Click Next. Alternately you can click the shortcut key 'Backup Entire Registry' in the left hand pane of the interface.

The process moves to Step 2. Custom Registry Individual registry keys and/or 'hives' can be backed up selectively (for example, the registry entries corresponding to specific Windows components/ installed hardware/software/applications etc). You may want to do this because you are about to install a new device, driver or piece of software and wish to be able to revert very important areas of the the registry to their previous state or because you would rather back up very important areas of the registry instead of a taking complete backup. Because of its somewhat complex nature, this option is suitable advanced users. Users that do not have a working knowledge of the Windows registry are advised to take a 'Full' backup instead. To backup the Windows Registry hives selectively, select the radio button beside 'Custom Registry'.

www.comodo.com

The right hand side lower pane displays the Registry Hives in a tree structure.

Navigate to the registry hive(s) you want to backup and select the checkbox beside the required item(s). Click Next.

The process moves to Step 2. User Settings The Windows system settings configured by the user and all user related files like files in 'My Documents', 'My Pictures' etc. can be stored as a backup. E.g. On Windows XP or Vista, for a user named 'John Smith' it creates a backup of the folder 'C:\Users\John Smith'. This means it will backup the user's desktop, documents, pictures, user registry settings, etc. This is useful, when you are reinstalling the same version of Windows and you wish to regain the settings you made in the previous installation in a single step. To backup the Windows Settings configured by the user, select the radio button beside 'User settings'. This is useful when you want to revert to your old Windows settings, in case you have modified the windows settings.

www.comodo.com

Click Next Alternately you can click the button Backup User Settings in the left hand pane of the interface.

The process moves to Step 2. Mail Accounts You can backup the emails in the inbox of your mail clients like Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora, Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007,Windows Live Mail, Outlook Express etc. This will also backup settings (such as incoming server, outgoing server, if the email is downloaded or remains on server, etc). This is helpful to restore your mails and settings when you reinstall your operating system or configuring your mail settings on a new computer system. To backup of all the emails in your inbox and the settings configured for your mail clients, select the radio button beside 'Mail accounts'.

www.comodo.com

The right hand side lower pane displays a list of all the installed mail clients. The supported clients are Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora,Microsoft Outlook 2003,Microsoft Outlook 2007,Windows Live Mail and Outlook Express.

Select the client(s) for which you wish to backup the emails stored (Inbox, Outbox, Unsent Items etc.) and their configuration settings by selecting the checkbox(s) beside the respective client(s).

Click Next.

The process moves to Step 2. Messenger Archive and Settings You can backup the messenger archive like the history of all conversations, conferences, calls, etc. of Instant Messenger (IM) clients like Windows Live Messenger, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger and Pidgin. This will also backup settings that are stored on the local machine (e.g. Skin used, Privacy settings such as idle time, Connection settings and proxy used, etc). This is helpful to restore your IM archives,profile settings,etc. when you reinstall your operating system or configuring your IM settings on a new computer system. To backup messenger archive and their configuration settings select the radio button beside 'Messenger'.

www.comodo.com

The right hand side lower pane displays a list of all the installed messenger clients. The supported clients are Windows Live Messenger, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger and Pidgin.

Select the client(s) for which you wish to backup the profiles related data(archives,profile settings,etc.) by selecting the checkbox(s) beside the respective client(s).

Click Next.

The process moves to Step 2 System Files This option allows you to perform a System state backup. All the folders and files that are installed with the version of Windows currently in-use, are copied. This includes all the user settings, registry, all user accounts, etc. For example, If the Windows is installed on drive C:\ then this will backup 'C:\WINDOWS', 'C:\Users', 'C:\Program Files' and all files on 'C:\' that are necessary for Windows to boot. This is useful should your system become unusable or refuse to start and allows you to quickly implement your previous settings. To perform a System State backup, select the radio button beside 'System'.

www.comodo.com

All files and folders that were installed with a fresh copy of windows will be backed up.

Click Next.

The process moves to Step 2.

2.2 Backup Settings

The second stage of the process is to configure the settings for the created backup job. You can configure the type of backup, like selecting the compression level for the backup, provide a password protection for the backup and splitting the backup files if you wish to create the backup in CD's, DVD's, ZIP drives etc. Click the links for more details on the Backup Settings for the Backup type you have chosen in Step 1.

Disk Partitions and MBR Files and Folders Entire Registry Custom Registry User Settings Mail Accounts

www.comodo.com

Messenger Archive and Settings System Files.

Disk Partitions and MBR The Backup Settings panel for the Disk Partition and MBR allows you to choose the backup step size, compression level, select an encryption algorithm for the backup file, add a description for the backup and to split the backup files.

Advanced Disk and Partition Settings

Backup Step Size- Specifies the cluster size for reading data from the selected drive and storing in the backup. Smaller the cluster size, lesser the disk space usage for the backup file. You can select the cluster size for use by CBU from the

www.comodo.com

drop-down menu. The available sizes are from 64KB to 1MB. The recommended size in 64K for optimal disk space usage. Backup free space - Comodo BackUp backs up only the contents in the occupied space of the selected drive partition. If you want to backup the free space in the drive, select the checkbox beside 'Backup free space'. Including the free space in the backup enables to recover even deleted files from the drive upon restoring the backup, using your prefered file recovery software. Advanced Settings The Advanced settings pane enables you to:

Select the compression level for the backup; Provide a password protection for your backup; Split the backup file into segments; Provide a description for your backup.

Compression Level - Comodo BackUp will compress all the contents of the drive partition selected in Step 1 into one file and stores with the filename having extension .cbu (e.g. filename.cbu), in the destination you choose in Step 3. You can choose the compression level in this stage of the process. You can choose from the levels 'None' through 'Maximum'. Higher the compression level, lower the backup disk space requirement. Select the compression level you want to use from the drop-down menu.

www.comodo.com

4. Retype the password in the 'Confirm password' text box. CBU generates a 32 byte key by applying a SHA256 hash algorithm to the password entered by you. If the encryption algorithm chosen by you requires a key of smaller bit length, the 32 byte key is truncated to the required length. CBU encrypts the backup file with the chosen algorithm using this key. During the restoration the backup file, CBU receives the password entered by you, generates a key by applying the same hash algorithm and uses this key to decrypt the backup file. If a wrong password is entered by someone maliciously, the key required to decrypt the backup could not be generated and the backup could not be restored, ensuring additional level of safety to the backup of your confidential information. Splitting the Backup File - You can split the backup file into segments of size of your choice. This is useful when you are taking backups of very large sizes , in removable media like CD's, DVD's, ZIP drives, USB drives etc. You can set the maximum files sizes of the segments to fit to the media you choose. The files can be rejoined while restoring the backup. To split the Backup 1. Select the checkbox beside 'Split BackUp' 2. Enter the maximum size (in MB) for each segment in the backup in the text box. Description for the Backup - You can provide a description for the backup like the purpose of the backup etc. This description is displayed on the 'History' panel of Comodo BackUp interface to remind you on the purpose of backup etc.

Click on the text 'Click here to add a description' displayed at the right hand side inside the Advanced Settings pane and type the description text.

Click Next to move to Step 3.

Files and Folders The Backup Settings panel for the Files and Folders allows you to set exclusion and inclusion filters for the backup, select the format - you can backup the file/folder as a simple copy of the original or as a Comodo Backup file (.cbu format), select the compression level, select an encryption algorithm for the backup file, add a description for the backup and to split the backup files.

www.comodo.com

Filter Settings Comodo Backup allows you to set filters for including or excluding the files to the backup from the source Files/Folders selected in step 1. This is useful, when you want to exclude or only include files of selected type or files having a selected string in their file name in the backup. For example, you may want to exclude all the temporary files in the selected folder from being backed up, include only the files with a specific string in the file name of a selected set of files or folder into the backup etc. You can set the exclusion and inclusion filters accordingly in this step. To set the filters 1. Select the checkbox beside Exclusion Filter, Inclusion Filter or both depending on your requirement. The Add Filter, Edit Filter and Delete Filter buttons are activated. 2. Click Add Filter button. The Add Filter dialog will appear.

www.comodo.com

3. Select the radio button beside Exclusion Filter. Note - The Exclusion filter radio button will be active only if you have selected the Exclusion Filter checkbox in the Step 2: Backup Settings interface. 4. Type the file extension with wildcard characters if you want certain filetypes to be excluded (e.g. * .tmp, *.txt) in the 'Filter name' text box or type the string with wildcard characters if you want to exclude files with the selected string in their filenames (e.g. nam*.*) in the 'Filter name' text box. 5. Click OK. 6. Repeat the procedure for adding more number of filters. Example - If you have added an exclusion filter with the name '*.tmp', all the files with the extension .tmp in the set of files or folders you chose in step 1, will be omitted and only the other files in the set of files or folders will be included in the backup. If you added an exclusion filter with the name ?a*.*, all the files/folders having 'a' as second letter in their file/folder names will be omitted. To set Inclusion Filters 3. Select the radio button beside Inclusion Filter. Note - The Inclusion filter radio button will be active only if you have selected the Inclusion Filter checkbox in the Step 2: Backup Settings interface. 4. Type the file extension with wildcard characters if you want only certain file types to be included (e.g. *.doc, * .pdf) in the 'Filter name' text box or type the string with wildcard characters if you want to include only files with the selected string in their filenames (e.g. nam*.*) in the 'Filter name' text box. 5. Click OK. 6. Repeat the procedure for adding more number of filters. Example - If you have added an Inclusion filter with the name '*.doc', only the files with the extension .doc in the set of files or folders you chose in step 1, will be included in the backup and the other files will be omitted. If you added an exclusion filter with the name ?a*.*, only the files/folders having 'a' as second letter in their file/folder names will be included.

www.comodo.com

In the example shown above, Comodo Backup will include only the files with the extensions .doc and .pdf from the selected folders into the backup. The .doc or .pdf files having 'nam' at the start of their file names will not the included in the backup.

To edit a filter, select the filter from lists of Exclusion or Inclusion Filters and click 'Edit Filter'. To remove a filter, select the filter from lists of Exclusion or Inclusion Filters and click 'Delete Filter'.

Advanced Settings The Advanced settings pane enables you to:

Select the Backup format Select the compression level for the backup; Provide a password protection for your backup; Split the backup file into segments; Provide a description for your backup.

www.comodo.com

Selecting the Backup Format - Comodo Backup allows you to backup the files or folders as a regular Comodo Backup file (in .cbu format) in compressed, encrypted and password protected form or as a simple copy of the original file (with the same extension of theoriginal file ). Saving the backup in the original format does not require the restoration through Comodo Backup. You can directly copy the file from the backup, if the original is lost. Select the option 'CBU file' (if you want to preserve the backup in Comodo Backup format) or 'Simple copy' (if you want to preserve the file in original format) from the drop-down menu.

Note: Selecting to preserve the backup as a simple copy does not allow you compress, encrypt and password protect the backup. Also it does not allow you to provide a description for the backup. Compression Level - Comodo BackUp will compress all the files/folders selected in Step 1 into one file and stores with the filename having extension .cbu (e.g. filename.cbu), in the destination you choose in Step 3. You can choose the compression level in this stage of the process. You can choose from the levels 'None' through 'Maximum'. Higher the compression level, lower the backup disk space requirement. Select the compression level you want to use from the drop-down menu.

Note: You cannot choose compression level on taking the backup as a Simple copy. Password Protection - Providing a password protection requires the password to be entered while restoring the backup and also encrypts the backup with an encryption algorithm you choose. This is useful when you are creating a backup job for your confidential files/folders. To provide a password protection and encrypting the backup 1. Select the checkbox beside 'Password Protection' 2. Select the Encryption Algorithm you want to use for encrypting the backup from the drop-down menu. Encryption Algorithms: AES - 128bit / strongest Serpent - 128,192 or 256 bit / very strong Xor - Variable block size / weak Blowfish - 64-bit block / strong 3DES - 168-bit/ strong Twofish - 128-bit block/ strong For more details on the Encryption Algorithms, see Appendix 1 Encryption Algorithms. 3. Type the password in the 'Password' Text box 4. Retype the password in the 'Confirm password' text box.

www.comodo.com

CBU generates a 32 byte key by applying a SHA256 hash algorithm to the password entered by you. If the encryption algorithm chosen by you requires a key of smaller bit length, the 32 byte key is truncated to the required length. CBU encrypts the backup file with the chosen algorithm using this key. During the restoration the backup file, CBU receives the password entered by you, generates a key by applying the same hash algorithm and uses this key to decrypt the backup file. If a wrong password is entered by someone maliciously, the key required to decrypt the backup could not be generated and the backup could not be restored, ensuring additional level of safety to the backup of your confidential information.

Restore method

Clean restore- Selecting this option deletes all the files in the folder you specify as restoration location in step 3 and copies the files from the backup in the folder. For example if you want to restore a backup file to folder D:\Data, the folder D:\Data will be deleted, then recreated with all files and folders in the backup.

Note: If you have selected the entire folder for backup in step 1 while creating the backup job, then all the files will be replaced in the destination folder during the restoring operation as said above. If you have selected only individual files from a folder for backup, only those files will be replaced in the same folder during restoration operation and the other files in the same folder will not be affected.

www.comodo.com

Append files - Selecting this option deletes only those files having same file name as those in the backup and replaces them in the restoration folder. Files having different file names from those in the backup, will be kept intact.

Backup Information - The backup information panel gives you a snapshot of details on the backup you are about to restore. This is useful to check whether you have chosen the right backup file for restoration.

Date Performed - The date and time at which the backup file was created. Version - The version of Comodo Backup application used for creating the backup file. Backup Type - The type or source of data you chose in step 1 during creation of the backup job. Backup Description - The description about the backup you entered in step 2, during creation of the backup job.

Verify Image The integrity of the back up file that you choose to backup can be checked by clicking the 'Verify' button. All the split segments in the backup file will be checked and the progress is indicated on the progress bar.

www.comodo.com

On completion of verification and if the backup file is found to be intact, the message 'The backup image has been verified successfully' will appear. If the backup file is found corrupted, then the message 'The backup image is corrupted' will appear.

Click Next. The process moves to Step 3.

3.3 Selecting the Files to Restore and Restore location

The third stage of the process is to select the files you wish to backup from the backup image (.cbu file) and the restoration location - the drive/folder in your hard drive where the files are to be copied.

The upper pane shows a list of the files that you specified in the backup job. To select the files to be restored, select the checkboxes beside the respective file names and leave the rest unchecked. The lower pane allows you to select the folder to which the files are to be restored. If you wish to restore the files to their original location, leave the check box 'Restore to default location' checked. This will restore the files to original locations from where those were backed up. If your backup consists of files or folder from multiple locations then all files will be restored to their respective original locations.

www.comodo.com

If you wish to restore the files to a different location from the original location, uncheck 'Restore to default location' and type the path in the 'Restore path' text box. You can also click Browse button and navigate to the required folder.

Click Next. The process moves to step 4.

Restoring Registry and User Settings You can restore the Registry, User, Mail and Messenger settings and/or system files when you want to rollback part of a system to a previous configuration. In order for this rollback to work correctly, the backup copy of the registry and/or the user settings MUST be restored back to their original locations. For this reason, Comodo recommends that users leave Restore to default location checked. If you wish to export the backed up registry and/or user settings to an alternative location (for example, troubleshooting or other analysis) then uncheck Restore to default location and select a different restore destination by clicking the browse button.

3.4 Restoration Process

The fourth stage of the process is the actual restoration. The progress bar indicates the restoration progress.

www.comodo.com

The lower pane displays the log information and shows the details about the files currently being restored and error reports, if any. Note: The log is displayed only if 'Enable Log' is selected in the Settings panel. You can also save the log as a text file for later reference or analysis.

To complete the restoration process, click 'Finish'.

7 Using the Shortcuts

The main interface of the Comodo BackUp features shortcut buttons for common backup tasks that are required often in its left hand pane . Using the shortcuts saves time as the settings for the first two steps of creating the backup job are automatically configured and you are directly taken to Step 3. The following tasks can be accomplished by using the shortcut buttons:

Backup Entire Registry; Backup System Partition; Backup User Settings.

Backup Entire Registry - Makes a full copy of the Windows Registry. The Windows registry is a huge, constantly referenced, archive for collecting and storing the configuration settings of Windows components and installed software and hardware. Whenever you perform a task such as installing or removing a program or modifying a file on your computer, Windows creates an entry in the Windows Registry to reflect this change. It is difficult to over-estimate the important of the registry to Windows users because the entire operating system is so heavily reliant upon it. One corrupted or deleted registry key could

103

www.comodo.com

bring your system crashing to a standstill. It is therefore a highly recommended practice to take regular backups of your registry so that, in the event of catastrophe, you can quickly roll back your system to its last working state. For the same reason, it is also a good idea to backup your registry before you install new software or hardware drivers. The default settings for Step 1 and Step 2 in creating the backup job are: Step 1: Entire Registry option is selected. Step 2: FULL Backup Type is selected. NONE Compression Level is selected. No password protection is enforced for backing up to or restoring from this .cbu file. Backups are not split into smaller sized portions. Users can access Step 1 or Step 2 to modify these settings by clicking the Back button in the Step 3 interface.

Backup System Partition - Starts the process of backup of entire hard disk partition on which Windows is currently installed. This is the partition that your computer boots from during startup. For example, if Windows is installed on the C:/ drive then selecting this option will take a copy of the entire contents of your C:/ drive. For more details on backup of entire hard disk drive or other individual partitions, click here . The default settings for Step 1 and Step 2 in creating the backup job are: Step 1: Disk, Partitions and MBR option is selected. The drive upon which the current operating system is installed is selected. Step 2: FULL Backup Type is selected. NONE Compression Level is selected. No password protection is enforced for backing up to or restoring from this .cbu file. Backups are not split into smaller sized portions. Users can access Step 1 or Step 2 to modify these settings by clicking the Back button in the Step 3 interface.

Backup User Settings - Backs-up all the Windows Settings configured by the user and all user related files like files in 'My Documents', 'My Pictures' etc. E.g. On Windows XP or Vista, for a user named 'John Smith' it creates a backup of the folder 'C:\Users\John Smith'. This means it will backup the user's desktop, documents, pictures, user registry settings, etc. The default settings for Step 1 and Step 2 in creating the backup job are: Step 1: User Settings option is selected. Step 2: FULL Backup Type is selected. NONE Compression Level is selected. No password protection is enforced for backing up to or restoring from this .cbu file. Backups are not split into smaller sized portions. Users can access Step 1 or Step 2 to modify these settings by clicking the Back button in the Step 3 interface.
