Why You Should Protect
Your VMware Environment
VMware vSphere powers mission-critical workloads across production, development, and disaster recovery environments. But without a dedicated VMware backup solution, organizations remain exposed to downtime, ransomware, and irreversible data loss. VMware virtual machines host operating systems, applications, and business-critical data that are costly and time-consuming to rebuild. Comet’s VMware backup software delivers reliable, image-based protection with fast, flexible recovery options.
Extended Downtime Impact
Without reliable VMware backups, recovering from ESXi host failure, datastore corruption, or accidental VM deletion can take hours or days. Prolonged downtime disrupts business operations, delays customer services, and directly impacts revenue for organizations running critical workloads on VMware infrastructure.
Ransomware Vulnerability
VMware environments are high-value targets for ransomware attacks that aim to encrypt or destroy virtual machine data at the hypervisor or management layer. Effective protection requires backups to an immutable storage location that attackers cannot alter or delete, even if ESXi hosts or vCenter are compromised.
Compliance and Liability Risk
Many regulated industries require documented backup and recovery processes for virtualized infrastructure. Inadequate VMware backup procedures increase the risk of failed audits, compliance violations, and legal exposure following data loss or prolonged outages.
Critical Data Loss
VMware virtual machines contain application data, system states, and configuration settings essential to day-to-day business operations. Without dedicated VMware backups, accidental deletion, hardware failure, or datastore corruption can result in permanent data loss with no dependable recovery path.

FAQS
It is not currently possible to directly restore virtual machines into vSphere. However, you can restore VMware backups as a virtual machine with just a few extra clicks. See our VMware vSphere Restore documentation for detailed instructions.
VMware vSphere version 6.7 or higher is supported.
Yes, the backup will work whether the guest VM is online or offline, as long as the device where the agent is installed is online.
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 the virtual machines in their original file format, perform granular restores of files and/or folders, or restore to a new virtual machine in Hyper-V, Proxmox, or VMware vSphere.
