Run Arcserve India: back up everything, copy it somewhere ransomware cannot rewrite, and recover in hours instead of days.
How a Pune manufacturer stopped trusting a backup that turned out to be encryptable, moved its copies onto Arcserve OneXafe immutable storage, and recovered a downed ERP the same afternoon. Story below.
Arcserve Backup, DR and Immutable Storage at a glance
Why Arcserve anchors most Indian backup, dr and immutable storage estates.
- OEM
- Arcserve, a United States data protection company with more than 30 years in backup and recovery. It merged with StorageCraft in 2021, which brought OneXafe immutable storage and the ShadowXafe line into the same family.
- What it does
- Backs up your servers, virtual machines, cloud workloads and Microsoft 365 data, keeps a copy on immutable storage, and restores a failed system in hours instead of days.
- Product lines
- Arcserve UDP for unified backup and recovery, OneXafe for immutable scale-out storage, Continuous Availability for replication, SaaS Backup for Microsoft 365 and Salesforce, plus the N Series and X Series appliances.
- Where your data sits
- Arcserve runs on your own servers, an appliance in your rack, or a cloud region you choose, so primary and backup data can stay inside India for DPDP reasons. Sirius Star sets it up that way by default.
- Where it fits in India
- Manufacturing, hospitals, BFSI, education and IT-services firms that cannot afford a long outage and need a backup ransomware cannot quietly encrypt.
- Licensing
- Priced per socket or per front-end terabyte for software, and per usable terabyte for OneXafe. Most buyers overbuy capacity, so a sizing pass is where the real saving sits.
- Support
- Licensing, appliance supply, deployment and a quarterly managed retainer run through Sirius Star, coordinated from Vashi, Navi Mumbai.

Arcserve Backup, DR and Immutable Storage India FAQ
Common questions about this brand for Indian buyers. Hover any underlined term for a plain-English definition.
What is Arcserve UDP?
Arcserve UDP, or Unified Data Protection, is a single platform that backs up VMware, Hyper-V, physical servers, cloud workloads and Microsoft 365 from one console. It uses image-based backup, global deduplication, instant VM recovery and offsite copies, so a failed system can be restored in hours. It is built for teams that want one tool across the whole estate instead of a different product for each workload.
Is Arcserve available in India?
Yes. Arcserve sells in India through authorised distributors and partners, and Sirius Star supplies the licences, the OneXafe and N Series appliances, deployment and a quarterly managed retainer, coordinated from Vashi, Navi Mumbai. Billing is in INR with GST broken out, and there is a free recovery review before any quote.
How does Arcserve protect backups from ransomware?
The key piece is Arcserve OneXafe immutable storage. It takes continuous immutable snapshots, so once a backup is written it cannot be altered or deleted for the window you set. If ransomware encrypts production and reaches the backup network, the immutable copy still holds a clean recovery point. Pairing UDP backup with a OneXafe immutable target is the design most Indian buyers actually need.
Arcserve vs Veeam, which do we need?
Both are capable. Veeam has a very strong virtual-first feature set and a large community, which suits VM-heavy estates that want the widest integrations. Arcserve brings backup, immutable storage and replication in one family with appliances supplied and supported in India. If your driver is ransomware-resilient backup without assembling several products, and you want local supply and INR billing, Arcserve is usually the shorter path.
What does Arcserve cost in India in 2026?
Indicative*: Arcserve is licensed per socket or per front-end terabyte for software, with OneXafe priced per usable terabyte, so a mid-size deployment usually runs from a few lakh rupees into the tens of lakhs depending on capacity, appliances and the managed retainer. Most of the saving comes from sizing capacity correctly rather than from list discount, so a sizing review usually pays for itself.
