Case Study: Berger Schatz Speeds Backups and Reduces Backup Window with ExaGrid

Berger Schatz cuts backup window from 15 hours to 4 with ExaGrid

Berger Schatz, a family law firm, faced a burden from its legacy tape backup system, which created long backup times and heavy management demands for its small IT staff. They sought an automated solution to reduce the backup window and improve disaster recovery, leading them to evaluate solutions from ExaGrid.

ExaGrid implemented a two-site system with its tiered backup storage, utilizing a disk-cache Landing Zone and Adaptive Deduplication for fast performance. This solution, working with Veritas Backup Exec, cut the backup window from 15 hours to just 4 hours while providing efficient disaster recovery via WAN replication. The measurable results included a 15:1 deduplication ratio and significant time savings, allowing IT staff to focus on other priorities.
