Case Study: Bird & Bird achieves faster backups and near-instant restores with ExaGrid

Bird & Bird cuts backup restore times from 4 hours to near instant with ExaGrid

Bird & Bird, an international law firm, faced significant challenges with its outdated tape-based backup system. The slow restore times of up to four hours were unacceptable in their time-sensitive legal environment, often impacting client service and billable hours. To address this, they turned to ExaGrid for its tiered backup storage solution.

ExaGrid implemented its disk-based system with adaptive deduplication, which drastically reduced the backup storage footprint and accelerated the process. The results were immediate, with weekly backups completing within their established windows and restores becoming near-instant. Bird & Bird achieved a 60:1 deduplication rate and reduced its backup window by 25%, allowing the firm to deliver world-class service without wasting billable hours.
