ShadowProtect v3.5 has numerous new features, including three time-saving remote management capabilities:

• Push installation – using one of the supported discovery mechanisms, push install the ShadowProtect SPX or ShadowProtect 5 software to unprotected Windows or Linux endpoints quickly and easily, all from the ShadowControl management console.

• CSV-based discovery – in addition to current hypervisor-based endpoint discovery, administrators can now provide a CSV-based discovery list of physical or virtual endpoints that can be used to monitor and manage with ShadowControl.

• Centralized license management – automatically activates newly-installed SPX or ShadowProtect 5 endpoints through ShadowControl by importing perpetual product keys into the license pool or by applying MSP product keys generated through the MSP portal account.

“For more than a decade, IT professionals around the world have trusted StorageCraft recovery solutions to protect their systems and data. StorageCraft ShadowControl v3.5 makes backup and recovery even easier, allowing IT professionals to devote more time to other activities because they know they can depend on simplified management of their backup and DR environment,” said Brandon Nordquist, VP, product management, StorageCraft.

Other ShadowControl v3.5 features and enhancements include: scheduled appliance backup support, generate certificate signing request(CSR) directly from the ShadowControl appliance, lock SPX backup jobs to prevent modification or deletion locally, enhanced IT Service Management (ITSM) notifications, and improved ShadowControl appliance update instructions. ShadowControl v3.5 is available.

Company’s DR solutions include the highly regarded ShadowProtect software line for Windows and Linux systems in physical and virtual environments. ShadowProtect is available in multiple versions so IT professionals can use the version that meets their needs, such as backup, DR, system migration and data protection for servers, desktops and laptops. In addition to ShadowProtect, the company’s backup and DR solutions include Granular Recovery for Exchange, ImageManager and Cloud Services.
