Fast Recovery

With ShadowProtect, meet or beat your recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTOs and RPOs). Recover files and folders in minutes. Restore failed servers. Use patented VirtualBoot technology to instantly boot a backup image into a virtual machine.

Flexible, Reliable Recovery

ShadowProtect image-based backups arm you with multiple ways to recover. Grab a missing file, restore an entire data volume, or restore a failed server’s system to a new physical or virtual machine with no headaches (P2P, P2V, V2P, V2V). You can rely on ShadowProtect because it provides automated verification of backup images to ensure they’ll work when disaster strikes.  

Set It and Forget It

Whether you’re responsible for a dozen backups or a thousand, ShadowProtect provides a scalable, stress-free solution. From mass deployment and configuration to automated verification and alerting, ShadowProtect will continue to protect your systems with minimal intervention required.

ShadowProtect Features and Benefits

Like disasters, IT environments are anything but standard. That’s why businesses need a single cross-platform solution that protects a mixed, hybrid environment. ShadowProtect® backup and disaster recovery software ensures on-prem business systems and data are fully protected and always available.


  • Cross-Platform System Protection

    Protect Windows and Linux systems, whether physical or virtual, with one backup software solution.

  • Storage-Agnostic

    ShadowProtect supports nearly any type of disk-based storage. Use the mix of production and backup storage that best meets your needs—now or in the future.

  • Broad Hypervisor Support

    Use our solution with VMware ESX/ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, and multiple other hypervisors.

  • Scheduling

    Run backups regularly, even while people work (they won’t even notice), and you’ll never risk losing more than a few minutes of data, delivering excellent RPOs.

  • Replication

    Having remote copies of backups gives you flexibility and options during a disaster. Replicate backups anywhere: a local device, remote server, co-location facility, third-party cloud, private cloud, or the Arcserve Cloud.

  • Testing

    Run automated, easy-to-execute tests on your backup images, and you’ll be sure your backups will work when a disaster strikes.

  • Migration

    Move a physical or virtual system to a new machine without losing uptime, and do so regardless of your hardware choice.
