About

Start running backups and restores in less than 15 minutes! Fast, secure backup software for businesses and IT providers. Comet is a flexible, all-in-one backup platform available in 13 languages. You choose your backup destination, server location, configuration and setup. Backup to your own storage/location, SFTP, FTP or cloud storage provider (Wasabi, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, Backblaze B2, or other S3-compatible cloud providers). Comet’s modern ‘chunking’ technology powers client-side deduplication with no full re-uploads after the first backup. Backups are incremental forever—your oldest backup can restore just as fast as your most recent. No need for differentials or delta-merging. Data is compressed and encrypted during backup, transit and rest. Test drive Comet Backup with a 30-day FREE trial!

About

Fast-Backup is free, open-source incremental backup software for Windows. After the first backup, it copies only new and changed files, making subsequent backups fast. Back up selected folders to USB drives, external disks or network storage. The current backup remains as ordinary, directly browsable files, so files can be opened or restored without proprietary archive software. File history can preserve earlier versions for point-in-time recovery, while practical safeguards help prevent mistakes and unwanted changes. Fast-Backup supports scheduled and manual backups and is available in 64-bit and 32-bit versions. It is released under the MIT License, with the complete source code available on GitHub.
