ShadowProtect gives IT administrators a way to generate backups of Windows servers,PCs and laptops by creating an exact point-in-time backup image of a complete systemor a specific volume, without any downtime. ShadowProtect also allows for bare metalrecovery of Windows systems in minutes.
 By using MicrosoftÂ's advanced backup framework, VSS, ShadowProtect creates a morereliable full or incremental backup of an entire system, including applications anddata, such as Exchange and SQL Server, said Scott Barnes, Chief Technology Officerfor StorageCraft Technology Corporation.  With ShadowProtect incremental backups,only the changed sectors are imaged, so more point-in-time backups can be taken atregular intervals during the business day.Â
ShadowProtect allows administrators to schedule full or incremental point-in-timebackups, while the system is still online. These images are compressed and encryptedensuring they are securely stored until needed, in the event of an accident ordisaster.
Administrators can mount the point-in-time backups as a separate drive or mountpoint so it is easy to restore individual files or folders, by simply dragging anddropping them to the desired location.
With ShadowProtect, itÂ's also possible to update an existing point-in-time backup.This means an administrator can mount a backup image before restoring it, run avirus scan and fix the backup, should a virus be detected.
 Our entire ShadowProtect line of software provides IT professionals an incrediblevalue for this quality backup and disaster recovery technology, said Jeff Shreeve,StorageCraft Chief Executive Officer.  ShadowProtect includes next-generationtechnology, supported by StorageCraftÂ's years of experience in creating volumesnapshot technology which is used on millions of installations worldwide.
