Case Study: Timeless Travel Trailers saves $25,000 and recovers from ransomware with CrashPlan

How one small business outwitted their hackers and saved $25,000 in productivity and expense

Timeless Travel Trailers is a small Colorado custom vehicle fabrication business that faced a malware attack on an employee laptop and realized its backup approach was not protecting all of its work computers. The company had been using CrashPlan to back up its server, but the incident showed that important files on endpoints were still at risk.

Timeless Travel Trailers expanded its use of CrashPlan to provide automated cloud backup and versioned recovery for employee and administration devices, making it easier to restore files quickly after attacks or accidental loss. With CrashPlan, the company recovered more than 99% of about 1.5 terabytes of lost data, avoided paying ransom, and estimated it saved about $25,000 in recovery costs, new hardware, consultant help, and lost productivity.
