   Reviewing 9.5.1.212 (May 23, 2009)

   I have been using Cobian for scheduled data backups to the NAS (networked hard drive) for years. Works flawlessly!
   
   I also keep PathSync on my USB stick, for add hoc folder backups (tends to be faster than Windows copy & paste).
   
   Both excellent applications in their own right and their prices make it a no brainer.

   TC17, when you go to create a task, there's an option right on the General tab that says:
   "Create separated backups using timestamps" right below "Include subdirectories".

   Maybe its just me, but this program does NOT backup correctly. No matter which option you choose, full, differential, incremental, etc... it makes a seperate file with the updates in it.... instead of just updating the original full zip file itself, like any real backup program should do. Just reading the faq for the program, you can tell the author has and attitude problem.
