Comodo, Inc., an Identity and Trust Assurance management solutions company, yesterday released Comodo BackUp.

Comodo BackUp is an automated file duplication and recovery tool for Windows XP/2000 that allows users to schedule ongoing backups of critical files. The company says that free of charge, the release is suitable for home users and network administrators. It protects data from system crashes, accidental deletion and corruption from viruses by generating a safe backup copy of valuable files.

Additionally the solution allows users to save backups to local and network drives as well as FTP servers and CD/DVD rewriters. It also features file synchronization, rule-based filtering, e-mail reporting and extensive reporting logs.

Melih Abdulhayoglu, President and CEO Comodo says, "Until now, home users and network administrators had no simple and free way to automatically and completely protect their data. Now there is an easy to use program that allows them to create, schedule and run their own backups 5 minutes after they've downloaded it."
