Case Study: Lang, Richert & Patch achieves 50% faster VM backups and 20% backup storage savings with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO on NAS Increases VM Backup Speed by 50% for LRP Law Firm

Lang, Richert & Patch (LRP) is a Fresno-based law firm with a hybrid IT environment of VMware ESXi hosts and standalone servers that must provide 24/7 access to critical case, accounting and document systems. The firm needed a more reliable, low-overhead VM backup solution that integrated with its Synology NAS, provided clear reporting and notifications, and enabled fast recovery while meeting data-security and compliance constraints.

LRP installed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on a Synology DS1513+ NAS, creating a single-box backup appliance that was quick to deploy and easy to manage. Using VMware Changed Block Tracking and NAS-based repositories, backups became 50% faster and VM backup storage dropped by 20%. The solution also delivered instant file recovery, GFS retention for monthly/annual recovery points, improved reporting, and straightforward administration, making the transition effortless for IT.
