Case Study: Physicians’ Reciprocal Insurers cuts backup windows and speeds restores with ExaGrid and Veeam

Physicians’ Reciprocal Insurers reduces backup windows by 97% with ExaGrid

Physicians’ Reciprocal Insurers (PRI) faced significant challenges with its legacy tape backup system using Veritas NetBackup. The process was slow, expensive, and consumed over 30 hours of staff time per week for management. As data grew, backup windows stretched to days, severely impacting user productivity, and the company needed a solution that could meet strict state data security regulations.

By implementing ExaGrid's tiered backup storage alongside Veeam, PRI achieved transformative results. ExaGrid's solution, featuring its landing zone and adaptive deduplication, reduced weekly full backup windows from over three days to just three hours—a 97% improvement. Data restores became dramatically faster, with an Exchange server recovery dropping from a week to 20 minutes. ExaGrid also provided the required encryption-at-rest for compliance, and the dedicated support resolved installation issues efficiently.
