Case Study: Mintz Levin achieves dramatically reduced backup windows and minutes-fast restores with ExaGrid disk-based backup

ExaGrid Wins the Case for Disk-based Backup at Mintz Levin

Mintz Levin is a Boston-based law firm of more than 450 attorneys that relies on large, searchable litigation support and document systems. As data grew, weekend full backups on nearly 50 tapes began spilling into the workweek and nightly incrementals were taking hours, making restores slow and disruptive—prompting the firm to seek a new backup approach.

The firm deployed ExaGrid’s disk-based backup, which integrated with their existing Symantec Backup Exec and offered strong vendor support at a competitive price. After implementation full backup windows shrank from roughly three days a week to 12–15 hours, nightly incrementals dropped from six hours to under one hour, and restores that once took hours or days now complete in minutes.
