Case Study: Kenmore School District achieves rock-solid backup performance with ExaGrid-Veeam

Kenmore School District cuts backup windows to 2–3 hours with ExaGrid

The Kenmore School District, supported by Erie 1 BOCES, faced challenges with a legacy tape backup system using Veritas Backup Exec. Their backup window was excessively long, with weekly full backups often running into Monday, and the process required significant hands-on management for tape rotation and offsite transport. They sought a more reliable and manageable disk-based backup solution.

ExaGrid provided its Tiered Backup Storage to be used with Veeam backup software. The solution eliminated lengthy backup windows, completing weekly fulls within a weekend. Deduplication significantly reduced storage needs, and the direct support from an assigned engineer minimized administrative overhead. The school district achieved a reliable, "rock-solid" backup and restore process, freeing IT staff for other tasks and ensuring data is consistently protected.
