I think it would be important if this feature is in there. Didn't really notice it! Hmm... paid version is starting to look better and better doesn't it? :) RonCam – you bring up a pretty good point.

I can't find any clear mention of this feature, other than that it likely tells you when it skips an in-use locked file. I've had this question on the Comodo Backup support forum for two days, but Comodo hasn't answered yet. How important do you think this feature is, or, would be? Or, is it better for the user to wait, and find out if the files were intact, when time comes to restore ... ;-) Did you notice in your tests, whether or not Comodo’s “Backup” will tell the user if the backup files it creates are saved without binary error (in comparison to the originals)?
