Case Study: AgResearch achieves fast, full-fidelity SharePoint backups and 5-minute restores with AvePoint DocAve Backup & Restore

AgResearch Successfully Performs SharePoint Backup And Recovery With DocAve®

AgResearch is a New Zealand agricultural research organisation (about 900 staff) that relies heavily on SharePoint for document and records management across multiple sites. As their SharePoint farm grew, native SharePoint backup tools proved inflexible—unable to schedule off‑hours, restore items at the granular level, or preserve metadata and version history—so restores were slow (about an hour) and disruptive to users.

AgResearch implemented AvePoint’s DocAve Backup and Restore, which enabled scheduled off‑hour backups, full‑fidelity protection (including metadata, security, and versions) and intuitive timeline-based, item-level restores. The solution cut single-item restore time from about one hour to five minutes, eliminated business-hour performance impacts, helped meet SLAs, and provided responsive support for ongoing migration and management needs.
