StorageCraft Technology Corp., a provider of backup and disaster recovery solutions, has released StorageCraft ImageManager 7, the company’s latest version of its free backup management software designed to easily manage, organize, and replicate backup images taken with StorageCraft ShadowProtect SPX and ShadowProtect 5 recovery solutions.
“The additions to ImageManager 7’s already robust feature set were the result of feedback from our partners. They asked, and we listened,” says Matt Urmston, director of product Mmanagement. “We added the tools IT professionals said would allow them to even more efficiently manage business continuity efforts, giving users the ability to devote less time to backup management needs and spend more time with other mission-critical activities.”
ImageManager 7’s new standard features include:
- StorageCraft intelligentFTP –Enables users to transfer every ShadowProtect incremental file or just a single, collapsed daily file. It also allows for customizable retention policies so users can transfer selected files.
- StorageCraft HeadStart Restore – Boasts recovery in minutes in the event of an emergency by pre-staging local backups in a virtual machine for standby failover. The standby volume stays up to date because ImageManager populates each incremental backup into the virtual machine.
- Advanced Image Verification – Allows desired backups to be scheduled to automatically boot via integrated StorageCraft VirtualBoot technology, providing an email with an attached screenshot of the System Login Screen.
- Expandable Managed Folders – Includes expandable managed folders to show detailed job information such as replication jobs, HeadStart Restore, intelligentFTP, or ShadowStream jobs.
- Managed Folder Filters – Provides users the ability to filter folders based on the type of jobs configured such as folders by job type, folders with running tasks, and syncing folders.
- Backup Store Management – Enables users to configure a single managed folder and allows ImageManager to automatically apply the policy settings to subfolders within the backup store. Any new sub folders are also automatically managed and inherit the settings of the primary backup store.
