Comodo Backup Utility

I have all of my libraries stored on a separate partition which is shared between Widnows 7 and Ubuntu. With all of my eggs in one basket, I want the storage partition backed up on a regular schedule. At first I was using Windows' Backup, but I really don't like how it works. It creates an image of your data which needs to be restored by the Windows Backup itself. I don't particularly like all my data sitting in a format that only Widnows Backup can restore, and would prefer for my backup program to copy all the data to another hdd as is.

I searched around for free backup programs for Windows and there are actually quite a few available. After downloading and trying several I decided on Comodo Backup Utility (which is free but not open source). The interface is user friendly. It has a nice amount of features and it's free. I have Comodo set up to synchronize my storage partition to an external hard drive. Instead of creating one large image file like Windows Backup, it copies the exact content of the partition over to the external hdd. Any time files are added or taken from the partition, Comodo adds or deletes them from the external drive. This is exactly what I wanted.
