Backup & Recovery

Catalogic DPX is a single, unified data protection solution that backs up and recovers your entire environment – physical servers, virtual machines, applications, and NAS – with rapid restores and built-in ransomware defense.
Catalogic DPX backup and recovery data protection solution

One data protection solution for your whole environment

Disconnected tools for servers, virtual machines, and applications create gaps that put your data at risk. Catalogic DPX brings everything under one roof — a unified data protection solution that protects physical and virtual workloads, business-critical databases, and NAS storage from a single console. Fewer products to manage means lower cost, less complexity, and no blind spots in your recovery strategy.

DPX backup and recovery — unified protection for physical, virtual, and cloud workloads

Comprehensive backup across every workload

DPX protects the systems your business runs on with the right backup method for each one.

Agentless VM backup

Agentless virtual machine backup

Protect VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V environments through backup proxies — no agents to install or maintain inside each VM.

Block-level backup

Block-level server backup

Fast, efficient block-level backups for Windows, Linux, and UNIX servers move only changed blocks to shrink backup windows.

Application and database backup

Application & database protection

Consistent backups for Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, and SAP HANA keep your most critical applications recoverable.

File and NAS backup

File & NAS backup

Protect file servers and NAS appliances, including NDMP-based backup for network-attached storage.

Bare metal recovery

Bare metal recovery

Recover entire Windows and Linux systems to the same or dissimilar hardware after a failure or attack.

Cloud-ready backup storage

Cloud-ready storage

Send backups to disk, tape, or cloud object storage so you always keep a copy off-site.

Recover in minutes, not hours

A backup is only as good as the restore. DPX gives your team multiple ways to bring data back fast, so downtime stays short and predictable:

  • Instant access — mount a backup and resume work without waiting for a full restore
  • Instant VM restore — boot a virtual machine straight from backup storage
  • Granular file and folder recovery from any restore point
  • Full bare metal recovery for physical Windows and Linux systems
DPX rapid recovery options including instant VM restore and granular recovery

Cyber resilience built into your backups

Backups are the last line of defense against ransomware — so DPX protects them. GuardMode watches for ransomware behavior and warns you early, while immutable backup storage keeps recovery points safe from tampering or deletion. When an attack hits, you can fall back to a clean, verified copy with confidence.

DPX cyber resilience — GuardMode detection, immutable storage, clean verified recovery

Flexible, cost-efficient storage

DPX puts you in control of where backups live and how long you keep them, without runaway storage costs:

  • vStor software-defined backup storage with replication and immutability
  • Deduplication and compression to cut the storage footprint
  • Cloud object storage for affordable off-site copies
  • Tape support for long-term retention and air-gapped archives

Why teams choose DPX for data protection

Unified & simple

One solution and one console for physical, virtual, application, and NAS data — less to learn, less to maintain.

Lower total cost

Efficient block-level backup, deduplication, and straightforward licensing keep your data protection budget under control.

Proven at scale

Catalogic has protected enterprise data for decades, with a solution that grows from a few servers to thousands.
