When it comes to your personal and precious files, it's always best to be safe than sorry. Making backups regularly is not something that people give much thought to and it can often become confusing and time consuming wondering what you have and haven't backed up.
The developers of Commod Backup claim that you'll be able to schedule and run backups within 5 minutes of downloading it and for the most part, this is true. It's simple case of just picking your source and destination folders, the times you want it to run and you're ready to go.

The peace of the mind you get from this means that if the worst was to happen and you either lose or corrupted some of your files, you can retrieve them at the touch of a button. The interface is such that this is a suitable program for beginners and experienced users. You can perform complete file and folder duplication to network or external drives, FTP servers and even CD/DVD writers. You can perform incremental backups or synchronised backups so that your files are backed up as soon as they are modified.

It can also make backups that optimise disk space if you're running out although this doesn't actually generate much free space. The only annoying thing is that sometimes this program kicks-in at inconvenient moments and slows-down your system although if you're looking for a free simple solution to your backup needs, it's a small price to pay.
