Case Study: SpaFinder achieves faster, more reliable restores and improved disaster recovery with ExaGrid

SpaFinder Relaxes with Faster, More Reliable Restores from ExaGrid

SpaFinder, the world’s largest spa and wellness media and marketing company based in New York, needed a more reliable disaster‑recovery solution after a tape restore revealed 20–30% file corruption. Fast, dependable restores and better retention were critical requirements to protect the company’s large volume of customer and operational data.

SpaFinder implemented an ExaGrid disk‑based backup appliance working with their existing Symantec Backup Exec; ExaGrid’s landing‑zone architecture and post‑process deduplication delivered much faster, more reliable restores, reduced storage by roughly 10:1–50:1, and enabled five weeks of retention. The system was quick to install, provided responsive support, and offers scalable GRID expansion for improved disaster recovery and future growth, giving IT renewed confidence in their backups.
