Case Study: Pye Bank CE Primary School achieves 94% faster backups and 60% storage savings with Altaro VM Backup

3-Hour-Long Backups Reduced to a Speedy 10 Minutes with Altaro VM Backup

Pye Bank CofE Primary School, a 74‑employee primary school in Sheffield running Hyper‑V virtual servers, was struggling with a dated backup system that took 2–3 hours to complete. The school needed a faster, reliable and easy‑to‑use solution that also reduced storage consumption.

They switched to Altaro VM Backup, using Augmented Inline Deduplication, and cut backup time to about 10 minutes (a 94% reduction) while saving roughly 60% on backup storage across 2.24 TB of protected VM data. Staff praise its intuitive interface, sandbox testing and file‑level restores, and the school reports the solution is fuss‑free and cost‑effective.
