Case Study: Campbell Hausfeld achieves automated, reliable backups and audit-ready reporting with Fortra's Robot SAVE

Robot Automates Saves, Backups & Audit Reports for Campbell Hausfeld

Campbell Hausfeld, an Ohio-based manufacturer of air tools and home- and auto-improvement products with 350 users across four sites, needed to modernize and automate backups, saves, and audit reporting on their IBM i environment running JD Edwards. Their previous process relied on a slow 3570 tape drive and custom CL programs, which made restores and unattended full-system saves risky and audits cumbersome.

They implemented HelpSystems’ Robot SAVE integrated with Robot SCHEDULE, CONSOLE, and ALERT and an IBM LTO Ultrium LTO3 automated media library, enabling save-while-active snapshots, fully automated nightly/quarterly saves, and RSU unattended restricted-state backups with on-call alerts. The result: faster, reliable backups, clear audit and restoration reports that simplify compliance, proven disaster-recovery restores, and a low-maintenance solution managed by a single administrator with strong vendor support.
