Case Study: European School Bergen saves hours per week on backup administration with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Saves the European School Bergen Few Hours Per Week on Backup Administration

The European School Bergen, a small international school in North Holland with one site, two physical servers and about 15 VMs, needed reliable backups for critical student, financial and administrative data. Their previous tape-based and then server-installed VM backup solution produced frequent failed jobs, slow file listing and recovery, a sluggish UI and no NAS integration, driving up administration time and creating unacceptable risk. The school wanted a server-independent solution that would support multiple virtualization platforms.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication was installed directly on the school's Synology NAS in minutes, providing a responsive web UI, easy scheduling and offsite backup copy to a second NAS. Features such as screenshot verification, instant VM and object recovery, and straightforward updates eliminated server maintenance, sped up recoveries and enabled quick disaster recovery. The switch also produced modest cost savings from a trade‑in and now saves the IT team a few hours per week on backup administration.
