How StorageCraft Recovery Solution works?

 

At the beginning you need good backups

 

StorageCraft® ShadowProtect® & SPX take reliable images of your machine that preserve systems, applications, data, and more as they change over time.

 

For lots of machines

 

With StorageCraft ShadowControl®, you can monitor your backups on thousands of machines from a single web portal.

 

And lots of different kinds of machines

 

StorageCraft offers editions of ShadowProtect / SPX that reflect your IT environment, including Windows Server, Small Business Server, Desktop, or Virtual machines and Linux physical or virtual systems. They even have editions specifically designed for IT technicians and subscription licensing options designed for MSPs.

 

But the backups can’t take up too much space

 

Using StorageCraft ImageManager™, you can consolidate your images to keep down the needed space.

 

And you need to be sure they’ll work

 

Using ShadowProtect / SPX to mount them as drives so you can see that they work (and get file-and-folder recovery at the same time).

 

You may also need to replicate them to somewhere else

 

You can use StorageCraft ImageManager to replicate images to your own offsite storage using our StorageCraft intelligentFTP® and StorageCraft ShadowStream® technologies.

 

You can get up and running

 

Using StorageCraft VirtualBoot™ technology to run any ShadowProtect image as a virtual machine, so while you’re waiting for new hardware, you can keep your business running with a single laptop.

 

And get your data back quickly

 

Or, using the patented StorageCraft HeadStart Restore® technology to pre-stage your recovery before anything goes wrong so you’re 95% recovered and can restore with a click of a button.

 

Regardless of your hardware or the scope of your disaster

 

With StorageCraft Hardware Independent Restore™ technology, you can restore to any machine, whether it’s physical or virtual, regardless of manufacturer or model.
