StorageCraft ShadowProtect is a fast and reliable Disaster Recovery, data protection, and system migration for Windows servers, desktops, and laptops. ShadowProtect provides a disk-based backup that captures full, differential, and incremental point-in-time backup images of an entire system: OS, applications, configuration settings, and data. Choose from a number of flexible recovery options – bare metal recovery, recovery to similar hardware, dissimilar hardware or virtual environments, or ultra-rapid granular recovery of individual files and folders.

ShadowProtect provides a breakthrough in disk-based recovery with ShadowProtect’s built-in VirtualBoot™ technology. Simply right-click on any ShadowProtect backup image and automatically boot that backup to a virtual machine in just 3-5 minutes. Or you can convert a ShadowProtect backup image to a ".VHD" or ".VMDK" with the included virtual converter.

ShadowProtect maximizes Business Continuity even further with HeadStart Restore™, which begins the restoration process immediately, before disaster strikes. Since the recovery window is eliminated, recovery takes minutes, rather than hours or days. For added safety, ShadowProtect includes replication technology to store backups to an off-site location.

In addition, ShadowProtect has a number of management tools. The ShadowProtect management console is included, allowing you to simultaneously push install ShadowProtect to all systems, check the status of your backups, and create groupings for simplified management. In addition, ShadowProtect ImageManager allows you to automatically consolidate backup image files, verify and re-verify backup images and set up notification to track the status of your backup jobs.
