What is BDRShield?
BDRShield is our next-generation backup and cyber-resilience solution, created by unifying BDRSuite and BDRCloud into one platform. It brings together proven strengths under a single brand, with a sharper focus on resilience and simplicity.
BDRShield is designed as a cloud-managed hybrid backup solution with cyber-resilience, delivering:
Centralized cloud console to manage all backups
Hybrid storage flexibility (local + cloud)
Built-in ransomware-proof protection
Unified backup and disaster recovery for servers, endpoints, VMs, SaaS, cloud, and databases
Why the change from BDRSuite to BDRShield?
Backup has always been our strength with BDRSuite and BDRCloud. But today, ransomware, compliance demands, and downtime risks mean backup must do more. BDRShield reflects this shift — uniting BDRSuite and BDRCloud into one platform, with resilience-first capabilities like a cloud-managed console, hybrid storage, ransomware protection with immutability, and instant recovery. It’s not a replacement — it’s the evolution from just backup to backup + resilience.
Is BDRShield a completely new product?
No. BDRShield is not a replacement — it’s the unification of BDRSuite and BDRCloud. You still have the same platform you know, with all your current capabilities intact. What’s different is the focus:
Cloud-managed console as the central way to manage backups
Resilience-first features like immutability, Zero Trust access, and instant recovery
One platform, one brand to simplify your experience going forward
