Case Study: America’s Test Kitchen achieves seamless Google Apps backup and faster mailbox recovery with Datto (Backupify)

America’s Test Kitchen - Customer Case Study

Boston-based America’s Test Kitchen (ATK), now a 200+ person operation, faced mounting IT headaches as it scaled: Google Apps had no backup, making off‑boarding and recovery of departed employees’ documents time‑consuming, and name changes could break mailbox ownership. Director of IT Dustin Brandt began evaluating cloud-to-cloud backup options to solve these recurring operational and eDiscovery problems without ballooning costs.

ATK selected Backupify over Google Vault because it offered lower overall cost and the ability to export, restore, and migrate entire mailboxes—letting IT restore a departed user’s mailbox to a manager and retire the license. Backupify also addresses name-change issues, provides strong search/eDiscovery, requires little administration, and has saved the IT team significant time and money, proving “a recipe for success.”
