Drag-and-Drop to Archive with P5 Companion

P5 Companion is a desktop application for Windows, macOS and Linux that allows files from local or shared storage to be archived and restored by simple drag-and-drop operations. Data is archived and restored via communication with a P5 Server running the P5 Archive software.

Folders can simply be dragged and dropped from registered volumes on the ‘Archive’ tab of the P5 Companion. Using a Metadata form, they can easily be indexed for restore.

With a click on the ‘Archive’ button, the P5 Server accesses the selected files, via paths configured earlier, and archives the files using a specified archive plan. P5 Companion automatically switches to the Job Monitor, where progress of the job through to completion can be monitored.

Data can easily be restored by dragging .P5C files into the ‘Restore’ tab. Multiple files from different locations can be added at once.
