Case Study: Gray Plant Mooty achieves minutes‑fast disaster recovery and eliminates unscheduled downtime with Acronis Disaster Recovery Service

Gray Plant Mooty Replaces Traditional Backup with Acronis Disaster Recovery

Gray Plant Mooty, a leading corporate law firm, faced growing data volumes and found traditional backup could not meet its required recovery time objectives—recoveries after a catastrophic failure would have taken days or weeks. To address this, the firm selected Acronis and deployed Acronis Disaster Recovery Service to replace traditional backup and support both daily backups and full failover capability.

Using Acronis Disaster Recovery Service with Acronis Local Cloud Appliances and the Acronis Cloud, Gray Plant Mooty spun up a failed Blackberry Enterprise Server and a 10+ TB file server in under 15 minutes, restoring connectivity with no performance degradation. Acronis now protects more than 60 servers, over 70 TB of data and 400+ users for the firm, delivering near‑instant recoveries versus prior multi‑day RTOs and ensuring continuous business operations.
