StorageCraft™ ShadowMode Explained -
StorageCraft technology captures a snapshot of your volume(s) and runs an
exact duplicate in a virtual PC or server state. This virtual state, called
ShadowMode™, allows the user to use the PC or server as normal, but without
premanently writing system changes to the hard drive.
ShadowMode - Creating a Virtual Volume(s)
If system changes and folder or files changes occur during a ShadowMode
session, then these changes can be automatically or manually committed
to the PC or server. If malicious or unwanted changes occur during a ShadowMode
session, then they can be discarded with a simple reboot.
Impact on System Performance - StorageCraft solutions have zero impact to
the current configuration of your PC or server. There are no modifications
to partitions or the disk structure. Minimal disk space and system resources
are used during a ShadowMode session and these are freed up when the session
is ended.
Malicious changes to your PC or server - ShadowMode doesn’t allow viruses or
worms to be written to the server or PC. When you run in ShadowMode, the
virus or PC may get written during the ShadowMode session, but it can be
discarded before changes are committed to the system. This approach is the
first line of defense to security and provides a disaster prevention layer
to your system rather than applying virus or worm updates after the disaster
has occurred.
Accidental or unwanted changes to your PC or server - People make mistakes
and apply changes to systems that they wish they could reverse. These types
of problems are not preventable, but they are recoverable.
In many instances, systems are a shared resource. This is the case in lab
environments, training centers, public kiosks, libraries and home PCs.
Unwanted software installations or folder and file modifications can place a
system in an inoperable or less than optimal state. Many times, the only way
to recover from this situation is to go through the time consuming process
of reinstalling the operating system, applications and reconfiguring the
system.
StorageCraft's ShadowMode approach allows you to return your PC or server
to its original configuration as fast it takes to reboot.
