System
With mirrored drives, the setup we recommend, what happens when one fails? Try it. Your files stay open the whole time.
Why it exists
Plug a big drive into the office router and you get space. You don’t get people, permissions, search, safe sharing or a backup anyone trusts. Everything that makes storage useful to a firm is software. That software is BaadalOS.
BaadalOSWhere it sits
You buy one Baadal. We set up the layers your firm needs.
What’s inside
01 · Find
Every word inside PDFs, spreadsheets, documents and drawings, including scanned paper.
Ask in plain words, like “which clients have a GST notice pending?”, and get the files.
Summarise a long document, sort incoming files and pull out key details without opening them.
02 · Control
A login per person, teams as groups, and a storage limit for each if you want one.
View-only, editing or a custom mix, set per folder for a person or a group. Editing a folder also allows deleting files and re-sharing it.
View-only links, links that expire, download on or off, and revoke in one tap.
Who added, edited, shared, deleted or restored what, and when, plus downloads through links you sent.
03 · Protect
Mirrored, as we recommend: every file is written to both drives, so one failing drive doesn’t take your data with it. Or combined into one larger space, with no second copy.
The device’s drives are encrypted, and so are connections from outside the office. The key is held by the device’s security chip and released only to BaadalOS, so a drive taken out of the box can’t be read on its own.
Go back to an earlier version of a file, or bring back one deleted recently.
A separate copy on a schedule, monitored under your support plan. Mirroring is not a backup, so you get both.
Wipe the device back to its starting state when it changes hands.
04 · Run
Folder templates, approvals and automation shaped to the way your firm works. We build custom ones.
Start, stop and snapshot Windows and Linux VMs for Tally, ERP and CRM, through BaadalVPS.
A secure connection from the device out to Baadal’s relay. No static IP and no port forwarding on your router.
One screen for users, storage, sharing and health, and an API for your developers.
Looks after itself
Small firms don’t have a server admin. BaadalOS is built so they don’t need one.
Day one
The apps
The myBaadal apps open the same files, with the same permissions, on a phone, a computer or a browser, in the office or anywhere else.
For your IT person
Built on proven, widely used open standards, hardened and maintained by our team in India.
No. BaadalOS comes installed and configured on every Baadal. We set up your folders, users, roles and applications before the device ships, and updates install on their own after that.
No. Day-to-day admin is a few screens in the admin panel: add a person, change a folder’s access, revoke a link. Updates, versions and, on mirrored drives, mirroring happen on their own, and our team supports the whole system under your annual support plan.
If your drives are mirrored (the setup we recommend), the device keeps working on the healthy one. Contact Baadal support and we arrange the replacement under your support and warranty terms. Combined drives have no copy, so a failed drive can lose everything on the device. Mirroring protects against a drive failure; scheduled backups protect a separate copy. You need both.
For the device’s own drives, no. They are encrypted and the key is sealed in the device’s security chip, which releases it only when the device boots its own BaadalOS, so a drive on its own, or booted with another operating system, can’t be read. Extra data disks added from settings are not encrypted.
The device makes an encrypted connection out to Baadal’s relay, and the myBaadal apps reach it through that. You don’t need a static IP, port forwarding or any router settings. Access from outside needs the office internet to be up; on the office network your team keeps working without it.
Yes. BaadalOS reads the text inside PDFs, spreadsheets, documents and scanned paper, so you can search by what a file says rather than what it’s called. AI search lets you ask in plain words.
Yes. BaadalOS has a REST API, and your applications can also run next to your files in Windows or Linux virtual machines through BaadalVPS. We also build custom workflows for firms that need them.
