Case Study: Harmony Beef saves 7 hours a week on backup administration with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Saves 7 Hours a Week on Backup Administration for Food Production Company

Harmony Beef, a family‑owned Canadian beef processor, struggled with slow, unreliable backups: daily full backups, frequent job failures, and manual troubleshooting that consumed about one to two hours per workday. The company needed incremental backups, file‑level recovery, easy scheduling and better integration with their Synology NAS to ensure 24/7 access to production, HR and logistics data and to meet food‑safety recordkeeping requirements.

After deploying NAKIVO Backup & Replication on their Synology NAS, Harmony Beef gained automated scheduling and reporting, faster backups, longer retention (yearly recovery points vs ~21 days previously), and instant file/object recovery. Backup administration dropped from roughly 7–14 hours a week to about one hour, improving reliability and freeing IT time while delivering significant cost savings.
