Peace of mind
When creating multiple backups takes no longer than just one, you can finally sleep well — no more late night hotel room backup sessions.
Happy Together
Hedge feels just at home on your Mac as it does on Windows. 100% native code, without cross-platform ballast, ensures stability and speed.
Features
Superfast transfers
As files get bigger and bigger, old copy-verify methods just aren’t cutting it. Hedge’s Fast Lane engine is purposely built for speed.
Simultaneous backups
Create as many copies as you need, at the same time. Hedge transfers multiple sources to all destinations, fully utilizing your bandwidth.
Verification, everywhere.
Everything Hedge does is verified, by design. Whether you're doing a simple copy, need source verification, destination verification, legacy checksums: Checkpoint has your back.
Presets, on steroids
Elements prompts you to add useful metadata to the media files you're transferring, so that they're properly labelled. That saves time for everyone else, and makes a smoother workflow.
Keep track of everything
Keep complete track of what goes where, when and how with Transfer Logs. MHLs allow you to re-verify backups later, with the standalone Checkpoint app.
Netflix certified
Hedge is fully certified by Netflix, and a partner of the Netflix Production Technology Alliance.

Flexible at its core
Hedge is just as comfortable with NAS, SAN and RAID as it is with USB or Thunderbolt disks. Copy to and fro, or even within drives.
