Hi,
I want to take backup of my system. I have Cobain Backup software in my computer. But I don't know to use it. Previously it was configured to take scheduled backup by its own. From last two days I had checked that the same is not working. How to take manual backup in Cobain. Also if this software is not so effective then which is a better one than it. Thanks in advance.
