Pros
Nice graphics, but don't let that fool you.
Cons
Difficult to understand. Not intuitive. It gives a "simple copy" along with other options, but "simple copy" does not work. It copies all the folder names but none of the folders contain any files. To make matters worse Comodo does not allow you to choose which external drive you wish to use. It kept going to the F: drive when I wanted it to go to the E: drive. An error message "error creating destination folder" kept coming up while supposedly copying folders with no files.
Comodo ran for 3 hours with this error message on each attempt to backup. Comodo has an error message sheet but it did not contain the "error creating destination folder" and no trouble shooting information. As a result it wasted time and effort with no results. Tried repeatedly to get simple copy to work without success. As another individual posted it is " Pathetic". Who would want to pay to upgrade this software that should work from the get-go. Avoid this free software like the plague...

Pros
An easy and reliable backup program. I have been using quite heavily a long time. I didn't encounter any problem so far. Very safe to rely on Comodo Backup when you are about to get image of your HDD. No any problem on Windows 8.1. One click and sit back Comodo does the rest.
Cons
Interface a bit complicated. There are several types of backup on the first interface as well as on Backup menu option. You are a bit confusing on which is which...
Backup a bit slower then I experienced from other types of Backup programs.
Creating a Boot disk option is a bit complicated.
Summary
Its safe, great and FREE. Reliable and I would say its better then Acronis Backup. unless you are using it for Work or very important file backup. Comodo is ideal for HOME users.

Pros
NONE. Even free software should have some integrity. As a person who has designed programs, systems, and websites over 25 years, I can say that I have never seen any software so poorly thought out in my entire career. These developers and their company should be ashamed of themselves.
Cons
There are so many cons, I don't even know where to begin.
I will say, though, that it would be nice if some thought was put into ease of use and, at least, some intuitive structure. Working with this software makes simply makes no sense. For example, let's say you have a folder structure such as \users\first user\my documents and \users\second user\my documents. And, let's say you use the software to do a simple copy from the C-drive to an external G-drive. Wouldn't you like to see \users\first user\my documents and \users\second user\my documents on the G-drive? Well...you won't. Instead, what you will see is TWO "my documents" listed. WHAT?!!! How do you determine which is which. This is only one of MANY MANY MANY problems with this software.
Summary
Free or not...this software is garbage. If this software would have worked, I would have gladly written a check for $200 and sent it to the company. Literally!!! But, after wasting huge blocks of time on this software, all I can do is encourage the rest of you not to waste your time. At least I can help you. I wish I could give this product 1/10 of one star. It truly is that bad. Oh, and by the way, forget any support. They MIGHT get back to you in two weeks. Usually, they just forget you. Again, even free software should have integrity.

Pros
Free (but cloud server says bad login/password)
Cons
Can't use the cloud backup so worthless to me.
Summary
After uninstalling and re-installing I still cannot get the online backup server to recognize my account for login. Even after a reset of password...it's a "no go". Try registering as a new user and I get this user has an account message. Maybe hours later they'll have the user data updated? MozyHome works and it's also free. I just thought since I use Comodo's Chrome browser "Dragon" it would be nice to have same company's backup. Sorry, Comodo, this time you failed badly. Failure to set-up accounts will doom a great idea every time.
