Case Study: MSE Group achieves 4X faster VM backups and verified recoverability with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Boosts VM Backup Speed by 4X and Improves VM Backup Reliability for an Environmental Firm

MSE Group, a U.S.-based environmental, engineering, and construction firm with multiple offices and a large VMware environment, needed a reliable VM backup solution after slow, unreliable backups from their previous product led to a corrupted backup and several days of reduced capacity. Protecting business-critical servers, databases, and large volumes of files was essential to avoid major financial and operational impact.

They deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication as a preconfigured VMware appliance, using forever-incremental backups, network acceleration, offsite copy, and automated screenshot verification. The result: a 4X increase in VM backup speed (incremental jobs now average ~30 minutes), ensured recoverability through screenshot verification, reduced network and storage usage via acceleration and deduplication/compression, and roughly 50% less time spent managing backups—restoring confidence in their disaster recovery posture.
