Case Study: Tata Steel Europe achieves SharePoint backup and restore SLA compliance with AvePoint DocAve Backup and Restore

Tata Steel Satisfies SharePoint Backup And Restore SLAs With DocAve®

Tata Steel, a top-10 global steelmaker, deployed Microsoft SharePoint to connect dispersed teams but faced a critical challenge: SharePoint’s native backup tools could not meet the company’s strict backup and restore SLAs or provide the scheduling and granularity required for reliable recovery. Administrators needed regular platform and on‑demand backups plus fast, item‑level restores to protect business‑critical data.

AvePoint’s DocAve Backup and Restore delivered scheduled platform and incremental backups for Tata’s ~35 GB SharePoint environment, running outside business hours and preserving full fidelity (metadata, security, and version history). The solution enabled item‑level and full‑farm restores in as little as one minute, met recovery objectives and SLAs, minimized disruption, and gave administrators greater confidence and time for other projects.
