Why Choose ShadowCradle for Backup and Disaster Recovery
ShadowCradle isn't just backup - it's a guardian for your backups. One appliance that protects against data loss and actively hunts for threats inside your backups. Built for MSPs who need one platform that covers everything: protection, recovery, and security intelligence.
Most backup stacks are built against MSPs.
Three problems every MSP knows. Three ways ShadowCradle solves them.
The average MSP manages separate products for VM backup, cloud app protection, and database agents. ShadowCradle consolidates everything.
Replication and cloud management are included for cloud-connected appliances. Cloud management is not available on the offline Airgap tier.
ShadowCradle inspects every snapshot for malware, viruses, and ransomware patterns - catching encrypted payloads before they reach your clients.
Ransomware. Fire. War.
Geopolitics. Nuclear Risk. Regional Collapse.
Your clients won't ask what caused the outage. They'll ask how fast you can get them back. ShadowCradle is the answer - regardless of the category the disaster falls under.
ShadowCradle pinpoints exactly when your data was last clean. Your tech opens one screen, selects the verified safe restore point, and recovery begins - no guessing which backup to trust.
Your secondary appliance is already synchronized. When power returns or you switch sites, your tech starts a restore from the secondary appliance - not a full redeployment - following a documented runbook.
Fire, flood, tornado. A remote appliance at a secondary location is warm and current. Your team can start a restore from anywhere with a laptop and credentials.
Write-once retention locks (software-enforced) help protect snapshots in a compromised environment. Your team recovers from an isolated, trusted copy - without ever touching the compromised network.
Cloud replicas can be hosted in a jurisdiction you choose. Your team initiates restore from a clean environment at any location - no dependency on a single country's infrastructure or legal situation.
Multi-region replica paths mean if one location goes dark, your team initiates recovery from a geographically separate instance - same simple procedure, different datacenter.
"If it's configured, it's tested."
Scheduled restore verification measures your RTO before a disaster does. Results are logged.
Frequent Recovery Points. Visible. Verified.
Four things every MSP can stand behind - engineered into every appliance ShadowCradle ships.
Snapshots as often as every 15 minutes. Every workload and site is captured, verified, and retained with a write-once retention lock (software-enforced).
One dashboard shows every appliance, every workload status, every backup health indicator - across your cloud-connected client sites.
Every backup is scanned. You know exactly which snapshots are clean and which contain threats - before disaster forces you to find out the hard way.
Scheduled restore verification means your RTO is a measured result, not a promise printed in a datasheet.
