Case Study: Rödl & Partner achieves faster, more efficient disk-based backups (full backups cut from 11 to 4 hours and 50:1 deduplication) with ExaGrid

Rödl & Partner Counts on ExaGrid for Fast, Efficient Disk-based Backup

Rödl & Partner, an Atlanta-based international professional services firm of about 125 staff, needed reliable protection for sensitive client financial data but was hampered by slow, manual tape-based backups and lengthy restore windows—full nightly backups were taking more than 11 hours and tape handling consumed significant IT time.

The firm deployed ExaGrid’s disk-based backup alongside Symantec Backup Exec, cutting full backup time to four hours and incremental backups to about one hour, achieving data reduction ratios up to 50:1 to retain eight weeks of backups, and reducing monthly backup administration. The solution also provides scalable GRID expansion, cross-replication for disaster recovery, and remote support that improved reliability and restored IT productivity.
