Case Study: Harper Macleod reduces backup windows by 82% with ExaGrid and Veeam

Harper Macleod cuts backup windows by 82% with ExaGrid

Harper Macleod, a leading independent Scottish law firm, needed to update its backup environment to enable secure offsite replication and improve data protection. Their previous disk-to-tape process was outdated. The firm turned to vendor ExaGrid, implementing its Tiered Backup Storage system alongside Veeam software to meet this challenge.

The solution from ExaGrid involved installing systems at primary and secondary sites for cross-replication. After an initial sizing issue was quickly resolved by the ExaGrid team, the implementation delivered dramatic results. The law firm achieved an 82% reduction in its full backup window, from 70 hours down to 12, and cut nightly backups from 7 hours to just 1.5 hours. Harper Macleod also benefited from simpler management, easy data recovery, and excellent dedicated support from ExaGrid.
