Case Study: Kostax, a Czech IT service provider, saves 11 hours a month on VMware backup management with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Helps an IT Service Provider Save 11 Hours a Month on VMware Backup Management

Kostax s.r.o., an IT services provider from České Budějovice, Czech Republic, supports public institutions and SMBs with fully virtualized infrastructure across two sites. The company’s legacy, open‑source, physical-server backup approach proved inadequate for VMware: VM backups were cumbersome, lacked modern features (including offsite copy), and required about 30 minutes a day for verification, putting data protection and customer systems at risk.

Kostax deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication (via distributor Bakotech) to perform image‑based, forever‑incremental backups every 30 minutes, with compressed and deduplicated storage and Backup Copy to a secondary site over the WAN. Backups run much faster and verification is automated—saving roughly 11 hours a month—while enabling near‑instant recovery of files and Exchange, AD, and SQL objects and delivering stronger, more reliable VM protection.
