Case Study: HAM Precision achieves fast, reliable Microsoft 365 and VM data protection with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Protects Microsoft 365 Data for a Tool Manufacturer

HAM Precision, a German precision tool developer and manufacturer, runs a VMware‑virtualized environment across three data centers (47 VMs at the main site) hosting AD controllers, ERP, file servers and production systems. The company struggled with an unreliable VM cloning backup solution that caused lost or corrupted backups, long recoveries, frequent manual intervention and no central job overview—while accidental deletions by employees accounted for about 80% of restore requests.

HAM deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on a QNAP NAS to protect VMware VMs and Microsoft 365 mailboxes. NAKIVO’s weekly full and daily incremental backups, VM replication, and instant VM and granular recoveries let HAM restore VMs, databases, files and folders in minutes, replicate to offsite storage for long‑term retention, and centrally manage jobs. The result: far more reliable backups, planned protection for 110 mailboxes, reduced daily admin time from ~2 hours to ~10 minutes, and lower risk and cost from failed recoveries.
