Case Study: Leo Schachter & Company achieves 6x faster full backups (48→8 hours) with ExaGrid

Leo Schachter Diamonds Chooses ExaGrid for Virtualized Environment

Leo Schachter Diamonds, a global manufacturer and distributor of polished diamonds, had modernized its server environment through virtualization but was still relying on an aging tape-based backup system and legacy software that backed up only data (not full VMs). This left the company unable to perform easy VM-level, point-and-click restores and created long, unreliable backup windows that threatened recovery confidence.

The company deployed Veeam Backup & Recovery with an ExaGrid disk-based landing zone and post-process deduplication, giving fast, non-rehydrated restores and efficient storage. As a result full backup windows shrank from ~48 hours to 8 hours, nightly full backups are now routine, scalability is ensured by ExaGrid’s GRID architecture, and combined vendor support has improved disaster-recovery confidence.
