FAQs

Keeping it simple, how does it work?

1) Create a backup

Set it

• Install the Backup Enterprise agent
• Select the local or LAN-accessible resources to be backed up
• Define the backup's destination (any disk/NAS/SAN/Cloud location that can be mounted as a drive letter)
• Decide whether the backup should recur on a scheduled basis or should perform continuous synchronization
• Configure the management and deduplication options
• Click 'Save'
• Forget it

2) Create a restore

Set it

• Log into the management console
• Select the backup job containing the required data
• Select the files/folders to restore
• Select the 1^st or 3^rd party destinations to restore to
• Decide whether the restore should recur on a scheduled basis (great for running test-restores) or run as a one-time operation
• Click 'Run'
• Forget it

What is 'continuous synchronization'?

Comodo Backup Enterprise will detect changes to your selected files in real-time and automatically copy them to your backup locations. This ensures you always have the most recent versions of your important data.

What is deduplication and is it any benefit to me?

Deduplication, sometimes called single-instance storage, means Comodo Backup Enterprise will detect any duplicate byte-patterns, then create a ‘pointer' to the duplicate instead of physically uploading and storing it.

Deduplication reduces bandwidth consumption and space requirements because the ‘pointers' are orders of magnitude smaller than the data itself. If you've used mail stubbing solutions before then you will already have used deduplication.

What can I back up to?

As above, any device, medium or cloud location that can be defined via UNC or mounted as a drive letter.

Are my backups encrypted?

Absolutely. You can even choose which encryption algorithms should be used in accordance with your HIPAA, FIPS, FISMA, FSA, DPA regulatory requirements. For cloud backups, we encrypt the data before it leaves your environment, encrypt the communication channel while your data is in transit and then store the encrypted data in your private encrypted container.

Do I back up to a local NAS or to cloud?

You can back up to cloud or NAS or cloud and NAS simultaneously.

Do I have to back up to Comodo's cloud?

You can back up to any cloud you choose, as long as it is accessible as a drive letter or UNC path.

If I use Comodo's cloud, what happens if I start running out of space?

Firstly, we are going to send you an email to let you know that you're running a little thin, so hopefully you'll never get that close. If you should run out of storage space during a backup though, we'll simply pause the job and once you have added the extra storage you can go into your Backup Manager and resume from where the backup paused.

What if I am backing up to a NAS and it runs out of space?

We'll pause the backup and notify you, giving you the opportunity to free up some space. When you're ready, simply click ‘Resume' and the operation will pick up from where it left off.

Can I throttle the bandwidth being used when backing up to the cloud?

Yes. You specify how many Mbps Comodo Backup Enterprise should use and we'll stay within that limit.

Can I prevent unauthorized access to my backup policies?

Yes. The Administrator Manager allows you to create other administrators and apply any permutation of access to backups, restores, reports, license management or any other facet of Comodo Backup Enterprise.

How can I be assured that my backups are successful?

Many backup solution providers determine whether the amount of bytes selected for backup equal the amount of bytes that got backed up. However, this alone does not always ensure that all your data is restorable. Comodo Backup Enterprise allows you to define scheduled restores, not just scheduled backups. Once the scheduled restore is complete Comodo Backup Enterprise will verify that the amount of bytes restored equals the amount of bytes selected for backup. In this way you can rest easy that all your data is secure.
