Why You Should Protect
Your Proxmox Environment
Proxmox VE power critical workloads across your business, so without a dedicated Proxmox backup solution, your organization will remain vulnerable to downtime, ransomware, and irreversible data loss. Proxmox virtual machines store operating systems, applications, and business-critical data that are difficult and time-consuming to rebuild. Comet’s Proxmox backup software delivers reliable, image-based protection with fast, flexible recovery options.
Extended Downtime Impact
Without reliable Proxmox backups, recovering from node failure, storage corruption, or accidental VM deletion can take hours or days. Prolonged downtime disrupts operations, delays services, and directly impacts revenue for organizations running critical workloads on Proxmox infrastructure.
Ransomware Vulnerability
Proxmox environments are increasingly targeted by ransomware attacks seeking to encrypt or destroy virtual machine data at the host or management layer. Effective protection requires backups with immutable storage that attackers cannot modify or delete, even if the Proxmox host or cluster management interface is compromised.
Compliance and Liability Risk
Many industries require documented backup and recovery procedures for virtualized infrastructure. An inadequate Proxmox backup strategy increases the risk of failed audits, compliance violations, and legal exposure following data loss incidents.
Critical Data Loss
Proxmox virtual machines contain application data, system states, and configuration settings essential to business operations. Without dedicated Proxmox backups, accidental deletion, hardware failure, or storage failure can result in permanent data loss with no reliable recovery path.

FAQs
The Comet Backup agent must be running on the same network as the target Proxmox Cluster, and the Proxmox Cluster version must be Proxmox VE 8.x or higher.
Yes, Change Block Tracking can be used as a Proxmox backup type to read only blocks that have changed since the last successful backup. Additionally, unallocated disk areas are skipped to further improve the backup performance.
Yes, Comet is able to deduplicate multiple VM images together if you back up multiple VMs to the same Storage Vault.
Comet also uses its chunking algorithm to deduplicate different snapshots of the same VM taken at different times, resulting in highly efficient storage use.
There are several restore options available. You can restore to directly to Proxmox, Hyper-V, or VMware, or perform granular restores of files and/or folders, or restore the disk image file in .img format.
You can choose to protect several or all virtual machines in a Proxmox cluster. The price caps up to a certain number of virtual machines per host. For details on our Proxmox pricing, please visit our pricing page.
