Cove Data Protection - 2025 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

What is Cove Data Protection?

Cove Data Protection, from N-able, is a cloud-first backup and disaster recovery service for servers, workstations, and Microsoft 365™, all managed from a multitenant web-based dashboard.

Cove was created and optimized for the cloud, so incremental backups are up to 60 times smaller than with traditional image backup products. This allows you to back up more often, and the SaaS delivery format reduces administrative time, lowering your cost of service delivery. Storage in our private cloud is included, with data centers worldwide.

Cove Data Protection™ offers backup that is up to 60X more efficient than traditional image backup, allowing you to back up directly to our private cloud as often as every 15 minutes. Because Cove is a SaaS solution, back-end administration, such as patching and updating, is handled for you, and managed cloud storage is included in your price, making local backup storage optional.

Cove delivers full image recovery, as well as fast file/folder restore, including the option to set up a recovery environment in Microsoft Azure. Cove's architecture also helps reduce your attack surface, as primary backup storage is isolated by default, off the local network and out of the reach of ransomware that may be there.

Benefits of using Cove Data Protection

Recover full systems or files easily to minimize downtime and help protect against lost data.

Backup storage in our worldwide private cloud is included in the price - no need for a second vendor or separate service contract.

Provides a single web-based management console to manage server, workstation, and Microsoft 365 backups from anywhere.

Backup data is secured with AES 256-bit encryption in transit and at rest.

Our efficient architecture lets you keep more restore points and provide longer retention using the same storage resources you already have.

Pros

“Data is easily accessible from everywhere and backups are generated automatically and efficiently. The ability to access old versions of backups is especially helpful to never lose progress.”

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

“I always check them to have a control of what is happening with the company's data. Of course, the data encryption is great, I fell that the company's information is secure.”

Mark B.

IT Manager

“We get a daily report about each backup with detailed analytics and information. We love the cost and value of the product as well as the peace of mind of having immutable backups off-site.”

Russell C.

IT Associate

Cons

“Being charged for storage not actually used. My very first backup was a server.”

Joseph W.

Owner

“The load of functions can be overwhelming, especially with all of the cryptic abbreviations. Honestly though, this is not a real con, but rather my own problem.”

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

“Lack of support SQL Server 2017, Difficult to review backup manage stats vs billed amounts.”
