              ShadowProtect SPX quickly and efficiently creates sector-level backup images of Windows or Linux systems.

              These backup images include the operating system, applications, services, configuration settings, and data volumes.

              • For Linux systems, a StorageCraft-built snapshot driver ensures you swiftly get a solid backup every time.
              • For Windows systems, we leverage Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to ensure solid backups, and our proprietary snapshot driver StorageCraft® Volume Snapshot Manager™ (VSM) makes sure those backups happen fast.

              The award-winning ShadowProtect® SPX gives you the ability to schedule backups to occur at regular intervals. Run the exact type of backup you want and do so on the days and at the times you want.

                Once you have backup images, you have multiple fast recovery options.

                Depending on the scope of the disaster you’re facing, you can:

                • Rapidly access missing files and folders by mounting and browsing a backup image

                • Restore a Windows or Linux system to the same or different hardware or virtual environment in minutes

                • Use the included StorageCraft VirtualBoot™ technology to:

                  • Boot a backup image as a virtual machine (VM) for a quick, temporary fix

                  • Boot a protected Windows system as a guest VM on a Hyper-V host (requires Windows Server 2012 R2)

                  • Boot a protected Windows or Linux system to an ESXi host in a VMware vSphere cluster

                  • Opt to migrate the protected Windows or Linux system to the ESXi host in a VMware vSphere cluster as a permanent recovery solution
