iManage announced the early access availability of HYCU R-Cloud for iManage Cloud-an enterprise-grade backup and recovery solution purpose-built for iManage Cloud customers and powered by HYCU, the award-winning and #1 SaaS data protection platform in the industry.

Today's announcement builds on the strategic partnership formed in 2024, which underscored a shared commitment to ensuring the iManage Cloud remains the safest and most trusted place to work with knowledge.

The iManage Cloud platform is a highly resilient, cloud-native solution trusted by knowledge-centric organizations around the world. With industry-leading security, built-in redundancy, and rigorous operational safeguards, iManage Cloud is engineered to protect customer data and ensure business continuity.

HYCU R-Cloud for iManage Cloud offers an additional layer of data control and customization for organizations with specific compliance, governance, or operational needs. The solution allows customers to maintain secure, off-site backups of their iManage Cloud data in customer-owned and managed storage - supporting internal policies and regional requirements for data handling and disaster recovery.

"iManage Cloud already delivers enterprise-grade resiliency and security by design," said Neil Araujo, CEO, iManage. "HYCU builds on that foundation to give customers who need more tailored control over their backup architecture the ability to meet specific governance or compliance goals - all without compromising the seamless protection our platform already provides."

Available on the HYCU Marketplace, HYCU R-Cloud for iManage Cloud allows administrators to automate backup policies, customize retention schedules, and recover data down to the file level, including metadata and security settings. Customers can integrate HYCU into a broader, multi-SaaS backup strategy, all managed from a single, no-code interface.

"We're thrilled to partner with iManage to fill a critical data protection gap in the legal community," said Simon Taylor, CEO of HYCU. "HYCU R-Cloud for iManage Cloud provides users with a powerful way to recover mission-critical data, whether lost through simple human error or malicious activity, quickly and securely. Collaborating with iManage, we are giving legal firms and departments peace of mind with a dedicated, proprietary backup of their iManage data."

Key benefits of HYCU for iManage Cloud include:

• Customer-controlled storage for off-site backups
• Policy-driven automation with "set and forget" flexibility for backup scheduling
• Granular recovery of libraries, folders, documents, metadata, and permissions
• Ransomware-proof backups with WORM-enabled immutable copies

Early access customers are already seeing the benefits of HYCU for iManage Cloud in action.

"HYCU R-Cloud for iManage Cloud gives us the assurance of having a copy of our documents under our own control, providing peace of mind that we can restore anything from a single file to an entire library if needed," said Ian Miller, Chief Information Officer, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP.
