First time users of a Comet Management Console will now see a Schedule an onboarding call button at the top of the Getting Started guide. This improvement aims to help first time users of Comet get assistance quicker.
Changes compared to 25.5.0
In Comet 24.12.0, we made changes to the Users table in the Comet Management Console to support the new User Groups feature. Comet 25.6.0 brings the rest of the tables in the Comet Management Console in line with the Users table, improving consistency and adding a variety of small improvements such as faster table loads, better page navigation in large tables, and inline column filters.
Hyperion is the latest entry in our quarterly rollup series. It branches off from our main rolling Voyager development into a fixed target for our partners to qualify and build upon.
This Quarterly release is named after Saturn's moon Hyperion. Fun fact: Hyperion is potato shaped and its deeply cratered surface resembles a sponge. Hyperion rotates chaotically, tumbling unpredictably through space as it orbits Saturn.
As for the software, Comet 25.5.0 Hyperion brings 3 new features and 9 enhancements, including automatic Storage Vault unlocking, automatically switching jobs to use on-disk indexes, a new option to backup everything in a Microsoft 365 domain, and more.
As always for a new quarterly release, there are two changelogs for 25.5.0 depending on whether you are coming from the previous quarterly release or the previous Voyager release:
Changes compared to 25.2.4
Changes compared to 25.3.7
NOTE: The Impossible Cloud eu-central-1 region has been deprecated. Existing Storage Vaults and Storage Templates using this region will remain configured.
Changes compared to 25.3.6
Comet makes use of in-memory indexes to optimise backup and retention pass jobs to maintain a list of where the data is in the Storage Vault. For larger Storage Vaults, this can lead to a large amount of data held in memory. On devices that have a lower amount of RAM, this can cause a job to fail as there is not enough available memory to complete the job. Comet's solution is to store the indexes on-disk using temporary files instead. This is because devices can often have more free disk space than available RAM.
When a scheduled backup or retention pass requires more RAM than is available, Comet will now automatically switch to store the indexes using temporary files on disk.
Comet 25.3.7 updates the translations for 13 languages. These are Danish, German, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Croatian, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Europe), Russian, Polish and Thai.
When the policy setting "Prevent opening the application interface" is enabled, clicking the "Show Interface" button from the Comet Backup desktop app tray icon on Windows will now open the login dialog prompt.
This change allows another user to log into Comet Backup. Previously, this button had no action.
Changes compared to 25.2.3
Changes compared to 25.3.5
It is now possible to cancel running jobs in bulk from the Job Logs page on a Comet Management Console. This is an effective way to stop all currently running backup jobs with one click.
