Simplifying Local Archive and Restore
with the P5 Companion App

The P5 Companion App is a versatile desktop application compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, designed to streamline the archiving and restoration of files from local or shared storage.

Logo P5 Archiware

By integrating seamlessly with the Archiware P5 Archive server, it enables users to effortlessly archive entire folders to disk, LTO tape, or cloud storage through intuitive drag-and-drop functionality.
During the archiving process, original files are replaced with lightweight .P5C stub files, which can be restored by simply dragging them back into the app.
This approach ensures that archived data remains easily accessible and manageable.
Additionally, the app supports the restoration of stub files created by the now-discontinued P5 Archive App, ensuring continuity for existing workflows.
