Case Study: Papworth Trust achieves secure, automated enterprise cloud backup and virtual disaster recovery with Asigra

Papworth Trust moves to Enterprise Cloud Backup and Virtual Disaster Recovery For Secure Data Protection

Papworth Trust is a leading UK disability charity serving over 20,000 people annually with around 600 staff and multiple sites. As its data grew, the Trust’s legacy tape-based backup became unreliable, hard to manage and costly to maintain, creating a clear need for a scalable, agentless solution that would secure and simplify backup across sites.

BTL implemented Asigra Enterprise Cloud Backup with a fully managed Virtual Disaster Recovery service: a single, agentless appliance that runs automated, policy-based "incremental forever" backups (4+ TB protected) with encryption, web-based monitoring and nightly reports. The new solution meets the Trust’s RPO/RTO targets, delivers faster recoveries than tape, reduces admin overhead, and includes unlimited recoveries plus annual DR testing—giving the Trust secure, accessible data and greater operational confidence.
