BDRShield
BDRCloud provides backup, disaster recovery, and data protection for virtual, physical, SaaS, and cloud workloads. Its centralized management console can be hosted in the cloud or self-hosted. Supported sources include Windows, Linux, and Mac endpoints and servers; Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace; VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, Proxmox VE, and oVirt; AWS and Azure virtual machines; NAS and file shares; and databases and applications. Backups can be stored in BDRShield Cloud, on-premises or remote DAS, NAS, or SAN, and public cloud storage such as Amazon, Azure, Google, Wasabi, Backblaze, MinIO, and other S3-compatible storage. Listed protections include immutable backups with retention lock, air-gapped and offsite copies, encryption, anomaly detection, and malware scanning before backup and restore. Recovery tools include automated backup verification, instant recovery for virtual machines and physical servers, granular restores, and cross-platform migration. There is one edition, Enterprise Edition, with custom pricing based on licensing. A fully featured 30-day free trial is available; installing the backup server software costs nothing, but protected workloads require licenses.
