Case Study: National Raisin Company achieves 100% backup visibility and 75% less backup management time with Druva

National Raisin Company protects virtual machines, endpoints, and Microsoft 365 with Druva

National Raisin Company (NRC), the largest independent grower, processor, and packer of dried fruits in the U.S., struggled with aging on‑premises backup infrastructure that disrupted its VMware‑hosted ERP nightly, produced backup corruption, and left endpoints and Microsoft 365 unprotected. These issues created lengthy restore windows and forced a fragile disaster‑recovery posture that required rebuilding VMware clusters or restoring whole VMs.

NRC moved protection for 29 VMs, endpoints, and Microsoft 365 to the Druva Cloud Platform (extending its existing Druva inSync deployment with Druva Phoenix), gaining a single pane of glass, cloud‑native DR with one‑click failover to AWS, and automated daily backup reports. The result: 100% visibility into backups, about 75% less time spent managing backups (a seven‑person team now spends roughly one hour per month), faster restores, and improved business resilience without costly hardware or capacity overprovisioning.
