Changes compared to 25.3.6
New Features
Automatically Switch Jobs To Use On-Disk Indexes
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 Backup Desktop App Windows Tray Icon "Show Interface" Changes
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.
