FAQS
Comet runs on a client-server model. Comet’s Management Console is required to manage user accounts, as well as configure backup and device settings.
To get started with Comet Backup, your first step is to select and set up a Comet Management Console, either Comet-Hosted or Self-Hosted, to register devices to be backed up.
Maintaining the Self-Hosted Console requires some technical knowledge including:
-
SSL certificate and networking skills
-
Windows and/or Linux server experience
-
Knowledge about server hardware and bottlenecks
-
Best practices for upgrade paths and risk tolerance
With Comet, you choose where your data is stored. With Self-Hosted, you can back up to:
-
Comet Storage, a bundled Wasabi storage offering
On-prem storage is fully supported on the Self-Hosted option through Storage Gateway. Among other benefits, Storage Gateway allows users to scale easily and to replicate storage to a secondary location.
All backup and restore functions are carried out by the Comet Backup client.
Since the bulk of the backup and restore operations happens on the client side, the Comet Management Console is freed up to accommodate a huge number of users and up to several thousand devices.
Check out the requirements to self-host your Management Console here.
The Comet Management Console has the capacity to manage hundreds of users and several thousand devices. In most cases, there is no need to spin up more than one Comet Management Console, unless storage replication needs to be set up, which would require another Comet Management Console to be set up as the replication destination.
However, customers can still back up to multiple storage destinations without replication by simply setting up more than one backup schedule and directing each to a different storage location.
This has the added advantage of not replicating any errors that might occur in the primary storage location to the secondary storage location.
Yes. Comet Self-Hosted gives you control over where data is stored and who can access it, which can meet strict regulatory requirements like HIPAA.
