How much does BDRShield cost?

BDRShield is licensed per protected unit — per VM or server, per endpoint, per SaaS user, per application, and per 500 GB of NAS or file data — so cost depends on your environment. Request a custom quote with your workload counts for exact pricing.

What is a BDRShield workload license?

A workload license covers one protected VM, cloud VM, or physical server. NAS and file shares are counted separately in 500 GB source-data units.

What is a CPU-socket license?

A CPU-socket license is based on the number of CPU sockets in a hypervisor host and covers the virtual machines running on that host. For example, a host with two CPU sockets requires two socket licenses. Ask the BDRShield team whether workload or socket licensing is the better fit for your environment.

How is SaaS backup licensed?

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backup is licensed per protected user. You need licenses for the users selected for protection.

Does BDRShield offer pricing for MSPs?

Yes. Service providers can use monthly pay-as-you-go licensing or annual subscription options. Exact rates depend on workload mix and agreement.

What licensing terms are available?

BDRShield offers subscription terms including annual and multi-year options (2, 3, and 5 years) with standard support and product updates included. Your quote confirms the exact terms for your deployment.
