"Hands down the best!"
5/5
What do you like best about Comet Backup?

Comet backup is hands down the most hands-off backup system we've worked with. All we need to really do is remember to update it when a new version comes out. Every management aspect is simple to use. I highly recommend using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

from time to time the admin backend will kick you out. not the end of the world, as we don't really log into it that often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Comet Backup?

The support is outstanding. They listen and actually read questions and respond to every question posed in a complete and thorough manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

The support hours are opposite hours for the US. They do have after-hours support, but they are very limited in what they can do and usually only point you in the direction of an already documented issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

The process of selecting files/folders to backup as well as backing up locally to network shares can be a little tedius. But once you figure it out it's not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
