Cobian Backup is a file-backup program that can be used to make automatic backups for your directories and files. Cobian Backup can be run as a service or as a regular application. It can backup to some other location in the same computer, to the network and even to an FTP server. The program supports compression and encryption.
I have Cobian installed as a service on two Windows machines: WinXP SP3 and Win7 x64. On both machines, the service is set to log on with my user account which is in the Windows administrator group. Backups on both machines fail with the message "Couldn't create the destination directory "\\nas1\backups\foo\bar\": The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect".
Cobian Backup is a multi-threaded program that can be used to schedule and backup your files and directories from their original location to other directories or drives in the same computer or other computer in your network. FTP backup is also supported in both directions (download and upload). Cobian Backup exists in two different versions application and service. The program uses very few resources and can be running on the background on your system, checking your backup schedule and executing your backups when necessary. Cobian Backup is not a normal backup application: it only copies your files and folders in original or compressed mode to other destination, creating a security copy as a result. Cobian Backup can be better described as a \"Scheduler for security copies\". Cobian Backup supports several methods of compression and strong encryption.
For all the bells and whistles you get with this backup program, we were shocked to find that it's free. Cobian Backup not only looks good, but it proved to be a very reliable and easy to use backup tool.
The user interface is straightforward, and the colorful command buttons are extremely intuitive. Creating a new backup task was easy, despite all of the configuration options. Basically, all we had to do was create a name, decide what files and folders to include, and create a schedule for the backup. We opted to save important files to our USB, which worked perfectly. We were impressed by the file compression and encryption options that aren't found in many paid programs. The Options menu comes with tons of settings for more advanced file compression, password-protecting the user interface, and even changing the interface's appearance. We were able perform random backups with the click of a button, and likewise, we were able to run multiple backup tasks all at once without any problems whatsoever.

I have been following backup solutions for many years and this seems to do what I need. I currently use Cobian on W10. I am considering changing my Windows email from LiveMail (which has not been supported for a long time but can still be downloaded if you search hard enough) to Thunderbird but, unlike Livemail, which backs up each email message into a separate file, Thunderbird seems to place all of its emails into a single mailstore file.
As I schedule a backup daily to NAS storage backing up a single mailstore file daily will take up a lot of space I currently take a full backup every 28 days and keep three full backups and the incremental changes between.
Is there a simple step by step guide to get Duplicati to run as a service but with the backup scheduled to run every day? I am sure it is simple once I have worked out (and documented) how to do it but it would be even better if one already existed.
One question that crops up regularly however is can I initiate a backup job automatically when I insert a specific USB external drive. Some commercial software can do this but I am not aware of any Open Source projects that do. I personally have a NAS that is permanently available.
i was wondering if there is a newer product than cobian backup that support backup as a service, schedulation, send log via email, windows server os and the removal of older backup. of course it must be a free product like cobian.
Thanks for the quick reply, I already tried Veeam and it seems a good product but it doesn't send email log when finish and it's very important to me. Todo backup I remember that can't run as a service so I left it. Last Windows backup can't keep history of backup if you save them to a network share folder and there is not email log. I need that the backup software send log emails because the server that I want to backup is in a remote location...
In many cases talking to people to invest money is like talking to a wall... So they've been warned and a few months ago they got cryptolocker so they're data that were not backupped anywhere were lost. Since that event they buy a nas for backup but they're stubborn and they didn't invest to a backup software... Anyway I'm the sys admin and one of my tasks is to provide a free backup method to store their data in that nas. So cobian is a messed up program because in many cases it fails to accomplish the backup tasks, plus is no longer supported and updated. Like I said Veeam is a great product but for now no email notification and another thing: it allows only one full backup then the other are incremental and I need to do only full backup everyday for 5 day a week, then the program should delete the older one and continue with other full. I hope that I've been exhaustive . Sorry for my poor English
so between many alternatives the best solution would be veeam free but for now, it doesn't include the email notification system. Reading the official kb of veeam they will implement this features maybe in the v2 of veeam endpoint free... let's hope that is true. in the mean time i'm forced to use cobian because unfortunately there is no product like that.
they only backup the partition where the data are stored not the entire server, for the second question i'm not sure what you mean, and i think that is not relevant to my topic question. By the way thanks to everybody for the fast replyes, if anyone knows other free software is very appreciated.
No problem thank you for your support! I know that would be a best practice to have a backup appliance off-site but sometimes the customer don't want to spend a cent for an environment where there is just a server and five employes at work...
the os is windows server 2008 r2 and the nas is a synology ds414 with 4x1 TB wd red, regarding the cloud backup solution is not achievable because they have just 0.70mbit of bandwidth in upload and the size of the backup are too large
Here's a list of what I had handy. (Sorry for the long list everyone.) I haven't tried them all. Keep in mind some may no longer be free, some may be discontinued, some may have switched to an online backup, some may have added online but can still be used with local storage, and some may NOT allow use in a business. Basically, I'm saying things may have changed and you'll have to check each product. Hope one of them works for you. I have tried Comodo and at that point in the past it did allow local storage so there was no need to pay for the online part of the service.
