Case Study: FEhS Institute achieves 50% reduction in backup administration time and 30% storage savings with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Decreases Backup Administration Time by 50% and Storage Space by 30% for FEhS Institute

FEhS‑Institut für Baustoff‑Forschung (FEhS), a Duisburg‑based research institute that manages roughly 16 VMs plus a standalone Oracle server and depends on decades of historical data, was struggling with a legacy backup solution that frequently failed. The old system did not handle Windows Server 2012 deduplicated volumes correctly, produced incomplete restores, and forced administrators to spend evenings and weekends monitoring and troubleshooting backups.

FEhS deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication as a preconfigured virtual appliance; installation was quick and the web UI simple to use. Built‑in global data deduplication and automated screenshot verification delivered reliable, fast VM recoveries, reducing backup administration time by more than 50% and cutting storage requirements by about 30%, freeing IT staff to focus on other tasks.
