Comet Backup
Comet Backup is a self-hosted backup platform popular with MSPs. It supports S3-compatible storage as a backup destination.
Configure a Storage Vault
In the Comet Server admin UI:
- Settings → Storage.
- Add a new storage location with type S3 compatible.
- Fill in:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Endpoint | https://s3.filebase.io |
| Bucket | Your Filebase bucket |
| Access key | Your Filebase access key |
| Secret key | Your Filebase secret key |
| Region | auto |
| Path-style URLs | ✓ |
Per-user Storage Vaults
In each user's profile, create a Storage Vault that points at the configured Filebase storage location. Comet writes that user's backup chunks to a prefix within the bucket.
Encryption
Comet does client-side encryption by default. Make sure each user has a strong Storage Vault password — it's the encryption key.
Bandwidth
Free egress on Filebase makes Comet restores cheap, which matters for MSPs running many client environments.
