Drag-and-Drop to Archive & Restore Files

In Archiware P5 version 6.0, we introduced the P5 Companion - a new desktop application for Windows, macOS and Linux. P5 Companion allows files from local or shared storage to be archived and restored by simple drag-and-drop operations. Stub files can be created when archiving for ease of restore, without the need to use the P5 web interface.

The desktop application is available for all P5 Archive customers and can be downloaded as an upgrade or a new installation on our website.

Discover how the P5 Companion App can simplify your data archive and restore!
