Case Study: California Baptist University achieves secure campus-wide endpoint backup and rapid ransomware recovery with Code42 (CrashPlan)

Protecting all endpoint data enables compliance with stringent security obligations

California Baptist University (CBU), a private non‑profit serving about 8,000 students, struggled with endpoint data risk and severe bandwidth and capacity issues as users stored large files on shared network drives and USBs. With rapid device growth, frequent VPN and file‑share requests, and the need for cost‑effective, low‑touch administration, the university required a scalable endpoint backup and disaster‑readiness solution.

CBU implemented Code42 CrashPlan as a hybrid‑cloud, enterprise‑grade endpoint backup to centralize and encrypt personal storage, move PSTs to a local host, and reduce network load. The change delivered faster file access, simplified administration (one console to manage thousands of endpoints), rapid single‑click restores during a CryptoLocker attack, broad campus adoption, and scalable, cost‑effective protection that met the university’s security and continuity goals.
