Case Study: DFA Law achieves faster recovery and cost savings with Asigra

DFA Law Saves Time and Money Moving from Tape Backup to Asigra-Based Agentless Solution

DFA Law, a long-established Northampton law firm, was increasingly dependent on digital case files as paper records were scanned, but its legacy Veritas tape-based backups were slow, manual and only run weekly. This left critical practice management, case history and billing data at risk and jeopardised business continuity, so the firm needed a faster, more reliable protection strategy.

Smartways implemented Asigra Hybrid Cloud Backup via its TouchPoint service: an agentless local appliance with daily (and continuous) protection, deduplication, compression, encryption and offsite storage plus bare-metal restore capabilities. The move eliminated manual tape processes, sped up restores from any location, minimised data loss, and delivered additional IT support in a single, lower fixed monthly fee—saving time and reducing overall costs.
