Canister vastly simplifies working with LTO. An easy setup, driver assistance, and true drag-and-drop UI makes working with tape a breeze.
Canister makes LTO work as it was meant to be. It works with about any LTO drive, supports the newest LTFS drivers and LTO firmware, and accepts all source types.
Zero-fuss LTO archiving
Canister makes LTO work as it was meant to be. It works with about any LTO drive, supports the newest LTFS drivers and LTO firmware, and accepts all source types.
Archives, without the headaches
Canister works with almost any desktop LTO drives, supports the newest LTFS drivers, and accepts all flavors of source types. Direct-to-tape transfers? With our Shoeshine Protection technology, it's finally possible.
Retrieve anywhere, anytime
Canister is filled to the brim with technology to ensure tapes are taxed as little as possible. Browse your LTOs and cherrypick only what you need to retrieve without activating the tape to prevent unneeded winding back and forth of your LTOs.
For macOS and Windows
Canister is at home on Windows just as well as on macOS. Because all Hedge apps are crafted specifically for each OS, they make the most of what each OS has to offer. No cross-platform ballast, ginormous app installers, or dinky user interfaces.
Canister's highlights
Canister packs some serious rocket science. Features that might seem simple but are incredibly hard to get right. We're proud of how these turned out.
Queuing
While transfers are running, keep queuing up new files and folders to be archived. Perfect for filling up a tape while you go, instead of having to first consolidate all you want to archive.
Spanning
Archiving more than will fit on a single tape? Canister's spanning engine keeps track of your files across multiple tapes. Just start archiving to the first tape, and Canister will tell you when it needs a new tape. Rinse, repeat, until done.
Library Manager
The all-new Library Manager — the only true drag-and-drop UI in the world for working with tape libraries. Currently available only on macOS, with full support for mail slots and single drive tape libraries.
Simple, predictable pricing. No subscriptions.
A Canister license is perpetual, works on both macOS and Windows, and includes a year of updates and support.
