Comet Backup
About Comet Backup
Fast, secure backup software for businesses and IT providers. Comet is a flexible, all-in-one backup platform available in 13 languages. You choose your backup destination, server location, configuration and setup.
Backup to your own storage/location, SFTP, FTP or cloud storage provider (Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, or other S3-compatible cloud providers).
Comet’s modern ‘chunking’ technology powers client-side deduplication with no full re-uploads after the first backup. Backups are incremental forever—your oldest backup can restore just as fast as your most recent. No need for differentials or delta-merging. Data is compressed and encrypted during backup, transit and rest.
No contracts. Support, updates, replication and re-branding are all free. Test drive Comet with a 30-day FREE trial!

Comet backup for a Cloud provider
Reviewed on 2021/08/17

We were looking for a backup application that should be able to store efficiently the backup jobs to a cloud storage without using local temporal space.
After a few evaluations we came to Comet, has a good pricing model, it's easy to start with and we are a happy user for more than 2 years.
We are running hundred of backup jobs each day, and a few restores each quarter (we are lucky), and we never had any issue caused by Comet Backup.
Pros
I was impressed by the ease of use of the server, how to deploy agents and how easy was to extract information from the server to report to our users how the backup was protecting their information.
Also, every time we opened a case with Comet, response time and quality was top notch.
Cons
It doesn't integrate (yet) with change tracking with the hypervisor so all the virtual disk has to be read each time, and that it'd be nice to integrate with S3 protocol Object locks to hedge against potential ramsonware attacks. I know that they are on it on both things but still not available.

We are very pleased with Comet Backup as an MSP. We are using it to serve hundreds of customers and device and I can sleep well at night knowing it's taking care of backing up our critical data for all of our customers.
Pros
The software works very well! We do mostly disk image backups and they have been flawless, fast and storage efficient. I love that Comet Backup has a self-hosted option which we are using. The support has been top notch and very responsive and helpful when we need them to answer questions. Their documentation is also top notch.
Cons
I don't really have any cons but I do have some feature requests such as more integrations, like Discord integration and Twilio SMS integration. Comet Backup does support custom webhooks and we've been able to achieve what we need with that but then I have to support our custom webhook integrations. I would rather Comet have native integration for Discord and Twilio for alerting and reporting.
Reasons for Choosing Comet Backup
Axcient was very error prone and higher cost. Datto was more like a less configurable black box compared to Comet with less options.Reasons for Switching to Comet Backup

The pricing, the featureset and the scheduling of tasks.

The Server back-end, sometimes there are weird errors backing up restored VM's, sometimes slow performance, no instant disaster recovery from the data.

Overall the software is better than others that I have tried and I think it's a good value for the money.
Pros
I like the ease of use as well as the ability to see what is going on quickly with my end points. Since it works with my MSP software I can get reports and such through there.
Cons
There isn't much that I don't like, but selecting what needs to be backed up and retention can be a little confusing.

I liked using it and when they changed the pricing model, I attempted to move away from them. I did not have any luck with three other vendors so I came back. They are priced fairly now and have a good product.
Pros
Ease of setup and use. I also like the ability to see all backup status on one page.
Cons
I didn't care for the new pricing model, but I was not alone. Comet changed it, so everything is good now.
