Cobian Backup is long-developed and full featured solution. plenty of other stuff I hadn’t discovered yet. Interface is very polished and easy to work with. Main interface acts as holder for list of tasks and information area. Task > New Task (Ctrl+A or new task button) creates new backup task.

Can you use Cobian Backup on Windows Vista?

This works fine on XP64 or Windows Server 2003 64 because 32 bit programs are allowed to call VSS from WOW64. Vista and Windows Server 2008 don’t allow that and VSS must be called as a native 64 bit application, which means that you can’t use VSS from Cobian Backup on Vista 64 at this moment.

Are there any zip files that work with Cobian?

The standard zip format has changed a lot the last years. Some extensions have been added to handle Unicode file names, large files (zip 64), etc. Unfortunately not all archivers support them (or they support them partially). Cobian Backup creates zip files that are 100% compatible with the latest version of Winzip.

How does Shadow Copy in Cobian Backup work?

When the shadow copy is created, the program impersonates once again the user. This is done because VSS was added when the logic of the events and impersonation was already implemented in earlier versions. To make it work directly before the impersonation occurs, a complete re-design of the program would be necesary.

Can you transfer a file from Cobian to FileZilla?

Filezilla has the option to generate one for me. I have used to create the certificate. I can connect to the server via a Filezilla client (I get a certificate prompt, accept it, and I’m good.) However, in Cobian, I cannot transfer a file.
