DETAILED OVERVIEW

What to know about Archiware P5.

01

Backup

P5 Backup protects production servers and storage with scheduled, versioned backups. Disk can provide fast restores while tape or cloud supplies lower-cost secondary protection.

02

Archive

P5 Archive moves inactive data out of expensive production storage while keeping projects searchable. It is well suited to media, creative and prepress environments with large project folders.

03

Synchronization and cloud

P5 Synchronize can maintain replicated file systems and P5 8.0 adds cloud sync plans for common cloud and S3-compatible targets, supporting offsite copies and distributed production.

04

LTO and lifecycle management

P5 supports tape libraries and LTFS workflows. Archive DLM adds policy-based lifecycle management, while version 8.0 improves deletion, media reuse and storage analytics.

05

Bay Digital deployment

We can design P5 around existing NAS/SAN/Xinet storage, choose disk/tape/cloud tiers, size retention, configure notifications and document restore procedures.
