Case Study: Linamar Corporation achieves faster restores and 32-hour monthly admin savings with Metallic Office 365 Backup & Recovery

Global manufacturing company saves time and costs with SaaSbased Metallic O ce 365 Backup & Recovery

Linamar Corporation, a global manufacturing leader based in Guelph, Ontario, moved 7,000+ users from on‑premises Exchange to Office 365 and found its tape-based backup approach could not protect cloud data or meet recovery SLAs. To augment Office 365’s native archiving and reduce the cost and manual effort of tape management, Linamar evaluated and adopted Metallic’s SaaS solution, Metallic Office 365 Backup & Recovery.

Metallic delivered a cloud‑native, single‑pane‑of‑glass backup for Office 365, migrating users into the service with Commvault support and enabling automated backups up to three times daily for as many as 15,000 mailboxes. The deployment cut backup administration by about 32 hours per month, transformed restores from weeks to hours, and replaced costly, manual tape processes with scalable, on‑demand recovery using Metallic.
