The modern backup rule Arcserve is built around
3-2-1-1
Three copies of your data, on two media, one offsite, and one immutable or air-gapped. That last copy is the one a ransomware crew cannot encrypt or delete. OneXafe snapshots and Arcserve cloud targets are how we build it.
Send your workload list. The clock starts.
What is Arcserve?
Arcserve is a data protection company. Its product range spans Arcserve UDP for image-based backup and replication, integrated appliances with Sophos cybersecurity inside, OneXafe immutable storage, cloud DR and backup services, and Continuous Availability for real-time failover. It protects physical servers, VMware and Hyper-V, cloud and Microsoft 365 from one console, and sells in India through channel partners, not a direct cart.
Buyers shortlist it in 2026 for ransomware resilience. A backup on the same network the attacker owns is not a backup, it is a second target. Arcserve answers with immutable, air-gapped copies. Buyers weigh it next to Veeam and Commvault, and we put the honest call in the quote.
What does Arcserve backup cost in India in 2026?
Six lines, one desk. Arcserve is licensed by workload, not by guesswork. We size to what you protect, then state the model and landed price in writing. GST extra.
Arcserve UDP for the whole estate
Unified Data Protection gives image-based backup, replication and instant recovery across physical, virtual and cloud, from one console. We size to your hosts and front-end data, not the brochure. Secure Data Guard reviews the design if regulated data is in scope.
Per socket or per front-end TB · subscription or perpetual
Arcserve UDP Appliances
Backup software, server, storage and Sophos Intercept X cybersecurity in one box. Plug in and protect.
Per appliance, sized by usable capacity
Arcserve OneXafe
Scale-out NAS taking immutable snapshots every 90 seconds. The copy ransomware cannot rewrite or delete, on your own floor.
Per node, by capacity
Arcserve Cloud Services
UDP Cloud Direct and Cloud Hybrid for offsite backup and DR as a service. Recover into the cloud without building a second site.
Per protected TB, monthly
Continuous Availability
Real-time replication and failover for systems that cannot lose minutes. A standby copy stays ready to take over.
Per protected server
Arcserve Backup and ShadowXafe
Tape and long-term retention for compliance archives, plus image-based backup for smaller and branch estates.
Per server or per tape library
How an Arcserve India deployment actually runs
From a read-only recovery review to a protected estate with a tested restore and a support number taped to it. We do not hand over a backup we have not restored. No jhamela at the first failure.
Free 24-hour recovery review
Read-only look at what is protected today, your recovery point and time gaps, and where a single failure would hurt. Eight-point report in a day.

8 working hours
Deploy, seed and test-restore
We install, seed the first copy, set the immutable schedule and run a real restore in front of you. Backup design pairs with NetApp or Hitachi Vantara targets you already run.
Weeks 2 to 4
₹250 crore is the DPDP Act penalty ceiling per breach, per the Ministry of Electronics and IT. A ransomware hit now also carries a six-hour reporting duty to CERT-In, and RBI localisation rules sit on top for payment data.
We have seen a backup job report green for months and then fail the one restore that mattered, because nobody had ever tested it. The recovery review is free. The outage was not.

Who is Arcserve right for?
Arcserve supply from Sirius Star covers sizing, deployment, a tested restore and 8-hour-response support for Indian businesses protecting mixed physical, virtual, cloud and Microsoft 365 estates, from Vashi, Navi Mumbai, with a free recovery review before any PO.
Built for:
BFSI and NBFCsHospitals and diagnosticsManufacturing and ERPLogistics and retailVMware and Hyper-V estatesBranch and remote sites
You are the right buyer if:
- You need an immutable, air-gapped copy that ransomware cannot reach
- A DPDP duty or RBI rule means recovery is now a board question
- You run physical, virtual and cloud and want one backup console for all of it
- Your last backup looked healthy until you tried to restore it
- You want backup and cybersecurity in one appliance, not two projects
If you run a small, all-virtual estate and just want simple VM backup, Veeam may be lighter. If your problem is purely Microsoft 365 retention, a SaaS tool like AvePoint is the cheaper fit. The review states the call.
Arcserve vs Veeam vs Commvault, the honest call
Arcserve wins when you want backup, immutable storage and an appliance with cybersecurity baked in, from one vendor, at a sharp price. Veeam wins on broad virtual and cloud coverage and a huge ecosystem. Commvault wins on the largest, most complex estates with heavy compliance. We sell against our own quote when the fit says so.
| Call | Arcserve | Veeam | Commvault |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best at | Backup plus immutable storage plus appliance | Virtual and cloud breadth | Large, complex, compliance-heavy estates |
| Ransomware copy | OneXafe immutable, air-gapped | Hardened repo, object lock | Air-gap and immutable tiers |
| Price posture | Sharp in mid-market | Mid, per-workload | Premium, enterprise-led |
| Right buyer | Mixed estates wanting one box | Virtual-first teams | Large enterprises and banks |
Need storage targets behind the backup? Our NetApp, Veritas and Cohesity desks quote on the same PO, alongside Supermicro backup servers. Refreshing 50 or more laptops? Ask about Device-as-a-Service on our device lifecycle desk. If the backup holds regulated data, Secure Data Guard should see the design before go-live. Pakka.
Who is Arcserve India a good fit for in India?
Arcserve India works best for Indian businesses that already have established workflows around the related platforms, need DPDP-compliant data residency, and want a single accountable partner for deployment plus quarterly tuning. Sirius Star runs the entire lifecycle — scoping, deployment, training, and renewal — from a Navi Mumbai engineering team.
How long does Arcserve India deployment take?
A typical Arcserve India rollout in India takes 2-6 weeks from purchase order to production cutover, depending on scope. Sirius Star follows a phased plan: scoping call within 8 working hours of enquiry, design review within 5 days, deployment waves, then a 30-day stabilisation window before handing over to your team or our managed retainer.

P.S. In March a Pune manufacturer called at 9 pm with a file server encrypted, and the backup on the same VLAN encrypted too. We rebuilt them on an immutable target with a tested restore runbook. Now the one copy that matters lives where the next attacker cannot reach it. Names withheld, story real.
