Backup & Recovery

Comet

Comet is a simple backup tool that quietly protects your important files and folders.
It takes snapshots of your data on a regular schedule so you can recover everything if your computer crashes, gets stolen, or a file gets accidentally deleted.
Comet uses affordable S3-compatible object storage, like DiskSpace, to keep your backups safe off-site. Instead of filling up your external hard drive, Comet stores your files in the cloud where they stay protected and available from anywhere.
This approach makes backups both cheap and reliable because DiskSpace S3 storage is designed to never lose data, giving you peace of mind without needing expensive hardware or complicated setups.
