Your backups don’t know
if they actually worked.

Most backup software copies files and calls it done. No verification. No anomaly detection. No warning when your destination drive is failing. You discover the problem the day you need your data back — and by then it’s too late.

01

Silent corruption

Backup tools report success even when destination files are unreadable. Without hash verification, you’re trusting the file system’s word that your data is intact. A single bad sector turns a “successful” backup into a liability.

02

Invisible drive failure

S.M.A.R.T. data predicts drive failure weeks in advance, but no consumer backup tool reads it. Your backup destination is degrading right now and nothing is telling you.

03

Ransomware blindness

Traditional backup tools can’t distinguish between legitimate file changes and a ransomware attack encrypting your data. They faithfully back up the encrypted versions, destroying your last clean copy.

04

Subscription fatigue

Macrium killed its perpetual license. Acronis charges $85/year. EaseUS wants $60/year. You’re paying rent to protect your own data on your own hardware. Every year. Forever.

Every feature exists because
a real problem demanded it.

GlacierLock was built by a forensic examiner who got tired of backup tools that couldn’t answer a simple question: “Is my data actually safe?”

Forensic-Grade Integrity

Every file hashed.
Every backup verified.

GlacierLock computes SHA-256 and MD5 hashes for every file it copies, then verifies the destination matches the source. Not a spot check. Not a sample. Every single file, every single run. If a byte is wrong, you know immediately.

  • Dual-hash verification (SHA-256 + MD5) on every backup
  • Tamper-evident append-only audit log
  • Scheduled integrity re-verification between backups
  • PDF Health Passport with chain-of-custody narrative
  • Source Protection Mode prevents accidental writes
🔒 Source hash (SHA-256) Computed
🔒 Destination hash (SHA-256) Matched
💾 Backup mode Smart Snapshot
📊 Files verified 14,832 / 14,832
Audit log status Append-only
Ransomware-Aware Architecture

Detects threats before
they reach your backups.

GlacierLock runs a pre-backup safety scan that checks for active threats, suspicious I/O patterns, and known ransomware file extensions before writing a single byte. If something looks wrong, the backup pauses and alerts you instead of faithfully copying encrypted garbage.

  • Pre-Mount Safety Scan checks Defender threats and VSS state
  • File extension monitoring against live threat intelligence feed
  • Anomaly detection flags sudden encryption-pattern changes
  • Minimum retention floor prevents ransomware from aging out clean copies
  • Destination spot-check hashing detects tampering between runs

📈 Disk I/O pattern Normal
🔍 Ransomware extensions 0 detected
🛠 VSS Event 8224 Clear
Pre-backup verdict Safe to proceed
Proactive Drive Intelligence

Knows your drives are failing
before you do.

GlacierLock monitors S.M.A.R.T. attributes on every registered drive, tracks capacity trends over time, fingerprints drives by serial number, and benchmarks destination performance. When a drive starts showing signs of failure, you get an alert weeks before it dies — not the day it takes your data with it.

  • S.M.A.R.T. health monitoring with threshold alerts
  • Drive capacity trend tracking over time
  • Serial number fingerprinting for drive identity
  • Destination performance benchmarking
  • BitLocker status detection and auto-unlock support
  • Drive rotation scheduler for off-site backup discipline

The only backup tool that
thinks about your data.

GlacierLock’s AI layer isn’t marketing. Every AI feature degrades gracefully to a rule-based SQL equivalent. The product works without AI. The AI makes it better — not necessary.

💬

Natural Language Queries

Ask your backup system questions in plain English. “Which profile hasn’t been backed up this week?” “Show me all .pst files larger than 500MB.” “What changed on Drive E since Monday?”

🔬

Behavioral Anomaly Detection

Learns your backup patterns and flags deviations. A job that usually copies 200 files suddenly touching 14,000? That’s either a project dump or a ransomware attack. GlacierLock knows the difference.

⚠️

Pre-Backup Risk Assessment

Before every scheduled job, the AI evaluates source health, destination capacity, drive S.M.A.R.T. status, and recent failure patterns. You get a risk score and narrative before a single file moves.

ExplainThis™

Every alert, every health warning, every anomaly flag comes with a plain-English explanation. GlacierLock doesn’t just tell you something is wrong — it teaches you what the alert means and what to do about it.

Market unique

No AI required. Every AI feature has a rule-based SQL fallback. GlacierLock works perfectly without any AI configured. The intelligence layer is additive, not mandatory. This isn’t hype — it’s honest capability positioning.

Built by a forensic examiner
who brought a higher standard.

GlacierLock exists because its creator is a forensic examiner who looked at consumer backup software and asked a question none of them could answer: “Can you prove this data is intact?” In forensics, everything is evidence. Every file has a hash. Every action has a log. Every claim has documentation behind it. Consumer backup tools don’t think this way — they copy files, report success, and move on. No verification. No audit trail. No proof.

GlacierLock applies forensic discipline to a problem that never had it. The append-only audit log that can’t be silently edited. The dual-hash verification that catches single-bit corruption. The Source Protection Mode that prevents accidental writes to evidence drives. These aren’t features bolted on for marketing. They’re what happens when someone who works with evidence standards builds a backup tool from scratch.

GlacierLock is a product of Elegchos Partners LLC, based in Utah. The name comes from the Greek elegchos — proof, scrutiny, the discipline of testing claims against evidence.

“The only backup software designed to the standard of evidence, not just convenience.”
— Product philosophy

Own it forever. No rent.

Macrium charges $78/year. Acronis wants $85/year. GlacierLock’s complete backup engine is a one-time purchase you own forever. AI intelligence is optional. The backup is yours.
