FAQ

What workloads does Cove protect?

What workloads does Cove protect?

Both physical and virtual servers, including both Windows and Linux systems. And it’s not just servers either. You can protect workstations and your Microsoft 365 data (Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams) from the same dashboard, so you’re not jumping between separate tools to cover everything.

I already use another backup solution. Is switching a pain?

I already use another backup solution. Is switching a pain?

It’s easier than most people expect. . You can run Cove alongside your current tool and move servers over as you go. Most teams start with a couple of machines, get comfortable, then bring the rest across at their own pace. If you get stuck, our support team can walk you through it.

How long are backups kept , and where is my data stored?

Long-term retention is built into the price, so you’re not paying extra to hold onto older recovery points or archives. Your data lives in our private cloud, and you can keep it in your region across data centers worldwide. Those data centers are certified to standards like SOC 1 TYPE II, SOC 2 TYPE II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA, helping meet compliance or regulatory standards.

How does pricing actually work?

How does pricing actually work?

You pay one predictable price, with cloud storage included. There’s no separate storage bills to watch and no appliances to buy. That makes it a lot easier to budget than the usual mix of appliance, cloud, and admin costs you get with alternative appliance-based or software-only backup solutions .
