A backup and disaster recovery appliance for databases, VMs, SaaS and files
Built for the people running production at 2am. Data loss stops here.
When disaster strikes, your customers stay up - and you can prove it before it ever happens. One appliance protects every workload - servers, VMs, databases, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Dropbox, Box, and files. Set up with a guided wizard.
All-In-One Coverage
One appliance protects servers, VMs (agent-based), SQL/Oracle/PostgreSQL/MongoDB, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Dropbox, Box, and files. Stop buying a separate tool for each workload type.

Unbox it and run the setup wizard. The setup wizard guides any tech through network discovery, policy configuration, and replication setup.
How it worksWhen Everything Goes Dark, Your Shadow Keeps You Running.
Most backup products protect your files. ShadowCradle protects your business - scanning every backup for malware and ransomware, virtualizing compromised systems in isolation, and monitoring for suspicious activity. Alerts tell you when something isn't right.
What MSPs Get Out of the Box
Every feature is included in the base appliance. No add-ons. No upsells.
One Appliance, Every Workload
Servers and VMs (agent-based), SQL/Oracle/PostgreSQL/MongoDB, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Dropbox, Box, and files - one appliance covers your entire client stack.
Wizard-Guided Deployment per Site
Unbox, run the setup wizard, and hand off to the client - all in one visit. No specialist certification, no multi-day implementation projects.
Priced Per Device, Server or Host
Priced per device, server or host. Contact us for pricing. Free for limited backups.
Built-In Replication & DR
Every appliance ships with replication ready to enable. Tested monthly automatically - when disaster strikes, you know the failover will work.
Centralized Multi-Site Management
Manage all client appliances from one cloud dashboard. Set policies centrally, monitor backup health, and run compliance reports - all from one place.
Security Scanning & Threat Detection
Free malware, ransomware, and virus scanning on every backup. Virtualize suspicious systems in isolation and monitor their network calls - catch threats before they spread.
*Free within platform limits. Contact us for pricing.
We are not just a backup vendor. We write the kernel code.
Most backup products are integrations. When the operating system will not give them what they need, they compromise: freeze the filesystem, demand a particular volume manager, or quietly take a less consistent copy and hope.
We went the other way. Linux had no way to snapshot a live, mounted ext4 or XFS disk without one of those compromises, so we wrote the driver that does. It sits in the write path of a production disk, which is the least forgiving place in the system to put code, and it is engineered accordingly.
Security Built Into Every Backup
Not just backup. An intelligent defense layer that actively checks, isolates, and monitors every protected system - so threats are caught before they become disasters.
Malware & Ransomware Scanning
FreeEvery backed-up snapshot is automatically scanned for malware, viruses, and ransomware at no extra cost. Before you restore a single file, you know it's clean. Stop restoring infections you don't know about.
Isolated System Virtualization
IncludedSpin up any backed-up machine in an air-gapped virtual environment - isolated from your production network. Inspect a compromised system, test a patch, or verify an application behaves as expected before committing to a full restore.
Network Behavior Analysis
IncludedVirtualized systems' outbound connections are monitored in real time. C2 beaconing, data exfiltration attempts, and lateral movement patterns are flagged so you can act on them.
Early Ransomware Detection
FreeBehavioral analysis of the backup chain identifies mass file encryption patterns and abnormal modification rates - catching ransomware before it fully propagates and pinpointing the exact recovery point when your data was last confirmed clean.
Complete Protection Ecosystem
Powerful dashboards and intelligent automation tools that give you complete control over your backup infrastructure-from protection to recovery
Dashboard and the protected systems grid view (6 of 10 systems visible). Screens from the live demo with sample data.
Unified System Protection Dashboard
See backup health, storage use and system status for your protected machines in one place. The grid shows each machine, its volumes and its security status.
Real-Time Health Monitoring
Alerting on backup health, change-rate anomalies and disk health warnings keeps you aware of infrastructure problems
Guided Setup
The setup wizard walks any tech through network discovery, policy configuration, and replication setup
Comprehensive Compliance Reporting
Generate reports that support your SOC 2, HIPAA and GDPR work from the dashboard. Reports are not a certification
Recovery catalog with the Recover dialog open: file-level browse, export data, or clone a protected system. Screens from the live demo with sample data.
Granular Point-in-Time Recovery
Pick a recovery point, then choose how to recover. You can browse files, export data, or clone a protected system.
Surgical Precision Recovery
Restore individual files, entire directories, database tables, or complete systems-choose exactly what you need without unnecessary data transfers
Version History
Access every retained version of your data within your retention policy-perfect for compliance, auditing, or recovering from gradual data corruption
Restore jobs list. A three-step ERP recovery is described in the job text. Screens from the live demo with sample data.
Intelligent Restore Orchestration
See your restore jobs in one list. Describe a larger recovery step by step in the job, such as a three-step ERP recovery.
Real-Time Progress Tracking
Watch your data come back to life with live progress indicators, bandwidth utilization metrics, and accurate time-to-completion estimates
Flexible Scheduling
Schedule restores during maintenance windows or off-peak hours to minimize impact on production systems and optimize network bandwidth
Automated Integrity Validation
Every restored file undergoes automatic integrity verification with checksum validation and corruption detection for verified data fidelity
Multi-Location Backup Made Simple
ShadowCradle's advanced multi-tenant architecture enables MSPs to manage backup infrastructure across many customer locations. Scale your managed backup services with tenant isolation and centralized control.
Hierarchical Customer Management
Organize customers into logical groups and manage their entire backup infrastructure from one unified platform with granular permission controls
Unified Resource Visibility
Get aggregated insights across all customer backup environments. Real-time dashboards show backup status, storage consumption, and recovery readiness across all locations
Rapid Customer Onboarding
Deploy backup protection for new customer environments in minutes. Clone existing policies, automate configuration, and start protecting systems instantly
Complete Tenant Isolation
Strong multi-tenancy architecture ensures complete separation of customer data and backups. Optional customer-managed encryption keys give tenants control of their own keys
Self-Service Portal
Give customers access to manage their own backups while you maintain control. Set backup policies, retention limits, and recovery quotas per tenant
Centralized Monitoring & Alerting
Monitor all customer backup environments from one dashboard. Automated alerts, compliance reports, and billing integration for smooth managed services delivery
Security & Compliance Enterprise-Grade Protection
Strong encryption by default, zero-knowledge when you choose it, and SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance in progress.
AES-256 encryption
Military-grade AES-256-GCM with NIST-approved algorithms. AES-256 is considered resistant to quantum attacks.
Post-quantum safe
Quantum-resistant AES-256 for your data, with NIST post-quantum key exchange (ML-KEM) for connections.
Zero-knowledge mode
Choose it in the Secrets Manager. You hold the keys, and we cannot decrypt that data.
Layered key protection
Each tenant gets its own key hierarchy, so one customer's keys are never mixed with another's.
Complete audit logging
Tamper-evident audit trails and real-time visibility into all operations.
Compliance in progress
We are working on SOC 1 and SOC 2 now. No report has been issued yet, and we will say so here when one is.
