Case Study: First National Community Bank achieves 30%+ backup management time savings and dramatically faster backups with ExaGrid

FNCB Selects ExaGrid and Veeam for Ultimate Backup Storage Plan

First National Community Bank (FNCB), a Northeastern Pennsylvania community bank with over 100 years of local service and a largely virtualized environment, was struggling with slow, unreliable backups. Their Commvault Simpana disk-to-disk-to-NetApp setup often ran full backups for 48–72 hours, regularly missing windows and requiring constant tuning to try to finish incrementals on time.

FNCB replaced that system with an integrated ExaGrid and Veeam solution, which installed in about 15 minutes and leverages ExaGrid’s landing zone and zone-level deduplication with Veeam’s job-level dedupe. The result: incremental backups in ~15 minutes, a 2 TB file server backup in about an hour, over 30% daily time savings for IT, simple management, rapid vendor support, and scalable, site-to-site replication that meets the bank’s retention and disaster-recovery needs.
