Case Study: Hillbrook Anglican School achieves fail‑safe backups, rapid disaster recovery and peace of mind with Arcserve (UDP & OneXafe)

Hillbrook Anglican School gains ‘peace of mind’ managed back up and disaster recovery with Cymax partnership

Hillbrook Anglican School is an independent co‑educational secondary school in Enoggera, Brisbane (about 840 students and 175 staff). When the new Director of ICT reviewed operations he found backup and disaster‑recovery processes to be high risk and beyond the capacity of a small in‑house IT generalist team, at a time when education is a frequent target for cyber incidents.

Technology partner Cymax deployed Arcserve UDP with OneXafe 4412 to provide offsite disaster recovery that mirrors the school’s secondary data centre and uses immutable storage to protect backups. The managed service delivered rapid, validated recovery (priority assets restored in the cloud within 15 minutes), reduced RTO/RPO to minutes, automated testing and granular reporting, and lower day‑to‑day management costs—giving Hillbrook greater data resilience and peace of mind.
