Why Use
Storage Gateway?
Storage Gateway is a powerful, self‑hosted component of Comet Backup that sits between your backup clients and your storage destinations, acting as an intelligent on‑premise storage layer. It lets you back up data to local infrastructure at scale, while still taking advantage of cloud or offsite storage when you need it.
Lightning‑Fast On‑Prem Backup and Restore
Run backups at LAN speed to your own on‑premise hardware for fast backup and restore performance.
Complete Control Over Your Backup Data
Keep full control over where data lives, how it’s replicated, and how it’s secured, across local and cloud destinations.
Strengthened Security with Isolated Cloud Credentials
Hide cloud storage credentials from endpoints by proxying all traffic through the gateway, improving security and separation of duties.
Centralized Policies for Scalable Backup Architecture
Standardize and scale your backup architecture using Storage Templates and policies from the Comet Management Console.
Key Features
Deploy Storage Gateway in the way that best fits your environment. Use it as the primary Storage Vault for large on‑prem backups, or route traffic through it directly to cloud providers without touching local disk, enabling powerful hybrid designs.
Place Storage Gateway in front of your cloud storage to balance speed and resilience. Keep a fast local copy for quick restores while maintaining an offsite copy and optionally replicating data to secondary locations for added protection.
Run Storage Gateway on your own infrastructure to align with internal security and compliance requirements. Keep cloud credentials isolated on the gateway, and leverage Comet’s encrypted, deduplicated backups to protect data efficiently end‑to‑end.
Turn Storage Gateway into a fully white-labeled backup appliance. Apply your logo, colors, and naming to deliver a consistent experience across your backup business and storage layer, ideal for packaged service offerings.

FAQS
Storage Gateway is a self-hosted component that acts as an intelligent layer between Comet Backup clients and your storage targets, enabling high-performance on-premise backups with optional cloud integration.
You can run it on your servers, VMs, or containers with sufficient CPU, RAM, and disk I/O. Exact specs depend on your backup volume.
Yes, it proxies traffic to cloud providers like S3-compatible storage without exposing credentials to endpoints, or writes directly to local storage first for hybrid setups.
No, it’s optional for MSPs and teams needing an on-premise backup solution at scale or credential isolation. Direct-to-cloud backups work without it.
Through Comet Backup’s rebranding features in the Management Console, apply your logo, colors, and naming to create a white-label backup appliance experience.
Yes, deploy multiple instances and load-balance them, all managed centrally from one Comet Management Console for scalability.
Comet Backup has client-side deduplication and encryption before data reaches the gateway, ensuring efficiency and security across all vaults.
Yes, one Comet-Hosted or Self-Hosted Management Console is required to configure, deploy and manage your backup infrastructure. Once you have a management console set up, you can connect as many Storage Gateways as your plan allows.
Yes, Storage Gateway can be used with either Management Console.
It is most commonly used with the Self-Hosted Management Console, as both components can be installed using the same installer and operated under a single Comet license, making setup simple and streamlined.
Storage Gateway can also be used with the Comet-Hosted Management Console; however, in this configuration, Storage Gateway must still be self-hosted on your own infrastructure. To find out more click here.
First, map out how many Storage Gateway instances you will need. Pick the corresponding Comet pricing plan that supports the number of licenses you will need.
Download the Comet Core installer from your Comet Account Portal. Install Storage Gateway on your own self-hosted infrastructure. Configure the Storage Gateway settings from your Comet Management Console’s web interface.
