Comet Backup overview

What is 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!

What do users say about Comet Backup?

Reviewers indicate Comet Backup offers flexible backup options across multiple platforms and storage providers, with reliable encryption and automation features. They appreciate the ability to self-host, easy cloud integration, and central management, though some mention initial setup complexity and a lack of selective file backup options. They report setup is generally straightforward once familiar, but beginners may find it challenging and the interface could be more user-friendly.

Users say customer support is responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful, with frequent updates and good documentation. They think pricing is affordable, with a pay-per-use model and fair value, though some mention extra costs for add-ons and system image backups.
