Client-side encryption
Proven security and transparency
Fast, secure, encrypted and incremental forever
Chunking is a leap forward for backup software from the status quo. Using client-side deduplication, data is broken into compressed, encrypted chunks creating bandwidth and storage space efficiency. Our backups are incremental forever and after the first backup, you’ll never have to re-upload the full file again.
The software we use is reliable, configurable and secure by design. With quarterly software releases, community input also drives our development roadmap.
Compressed and Encrypted
During backup, transit and rest. The only time it is unencrypted is during a restore.
Frequently Asked Questions about Files & Folders Backup
Files & Folders Protected Item type backs up files and folders on the device. For full system recovery, we recommend using our Disk Image addon to create a bootable disk image backup of the entire system.
Our backups deduplicates all data that is backed up to the same Storage Vault. If you run a Disk Image backup and a Files & Folders backup to the same storage location, there is a very high amount of overlap that will be deduplicated together, reducing your total storage requirements.
Yes, if you enable the “Take filesystem snapshot” checkbox. This checkbox is enabled by default, and takes a VSS snapshot that allows it to back up open and in-use files, from a consistent point-in-time snapshot of your disk.
On macOS and Linux, Comet will back up open files without any special configuration.
You can backup to you own local drive storage and our cloud storage.
Protect against ransomware or accidental deletions with free storage immutability. Backups are a favorite target of cybercriminals because encrypting both your primary systems and secondary backups increases the odds that you’ll pay their ransom. Our immutable storage makes it impossible for anyone to access, alter or delete your data stored for a set retention period (minimum 30 days), adding failsafe protection to your multilayered approach to cybersecurity.
There are no additional fees for egress of API calls, so you get straightforward pricing that eliminates the guesswork associated with using AWS S3 and other hyperscale storage services. Test and restore your backups without fear of egress fees
