Changes compared to 25.9.0

Enhancements​

Improved handling of password resets from the management console​

Comet 25.9.1 brings improved functionality for performing user password resets. Previously, a password reset would cause logged-in clients to eventually close after user or background activity triggered an authentication failure. Now, management console users can choose whether to distribute updated passwords or disconnect devices, with well-established outcomes.

Admins and backup users can now choose to either update passwords on all connected devices or log out on all connected devices and return them to the login dialog, while admins also have the option of logging out all connected devices and terminating the backup agent.

Improved handling of non-default Microsoft 365 document libraries​

Handling of non-default document libraries has been improved to allow for greater backup speed and correct OneDrive attribution.

Changes compared to 25.6.9

Enhancements​

Add Linux Disk Image Driver Support for Linux Kernel 6.14​

Support for Comet's Linux Disk Image Driver (backupsnap61) has been improved to support Linux Kernel Version 6.14

Specify restore directory when restoring as compressed archive file​

When restoring backups to 'Compressed archive file' in a Comet Management Console an improved dialog will be shown. Previously, configuring where the compressed file will be restored to was unclear. If a relative path was entered then the restored file would be in the install directory of the Comet Backup desktop application. Now, the dialog will allow you to browse the local device to select the directory to restore to. A filename will need to be entered and a archive format to be selected. This makes it a lot clearer as to where the compressed archive file will be restored to.

Changes compared to 25.6.5

Enhancements​

Improved Storage Vault Name On Creation​

During device registration or when a new Storage Vault is created via the Comet Backup desktop app, the name of the device is now included in the Storage Vault name.

New Features​

MSI Installer Now Available For Windows​

Using a .msi installer is great option for mass deployments and supports all the install features and flags that Comet's .exe installer offers.

Enhancements​

Improved Comet Storage Gateway Configuration Behaviour​

Self-Hosted Storage Gateway Only

In Comet 25.6.3, significant changes have been made to Comet's Storage Gateway.

The first is, on startup Comet will now validate if Storage Gateway has been configured correctly. If not, an updated widget will appear on the Home screen noting that the storage configuration has failed. This means admins can see immediate feedback within Comet to check if a Storage Gateway is configured correctly.

The Storage Gateway settings has also been improved. Comet will now validate Storage Gateway settings before changing them to ensure that it's configured correctly.
