Case Study: Weber County Library System achieves faster, seamless backup and disaster recovery with ExaGrid and Veeam

Weber County Library System cuts backup windows by 75% with ExaGrid

The Weber County Library System faced a critical data vulnerability after a server failure exposed the inadequacies of its existing SAN snapshot and tape backup solution. This near-disaster prompted them to seek a robust backup and disaster recovery system. They chose Veeam Backup & Replication for the application and selected ExaGrid as their backup storage target due to its tight integration with Veeam.

ExaGrid implemented its tiered backup storage with a scale-out architecture, which utilizes a disk-cache Landing Zone for fast backups and a repository for long-term retention. This solution reduced the library's backup window by over 75%, from 6-8 hours down to just 90 minutes. The system also provides automated cross-replication for offsite disaster recovery. The Weber County Library System reported increased confidence in its restore capabilities and praised ExaGrid for its proactive support and easy-to-manage solution.
