Case Study: University of California San Francisco Protects 100 TB of Research Data with Retrospect Backup

Cardiovascular Research Institute at University of California at San Francisco Protects 100 TBs with Retrospect Backup

The Cardiovascular Research Institute at the University of California San Francisco needed to protect over 100 TB of critical genetics data for its labs, which operated with very small budgets allocated for data protection. The challenge was to find a backup solution that was both affordable and capable of handling such large volumes of encrypted medical information.

The institute implemented Retrospect Backup, using three instances for Windows and one for Mac, which provided a cost-effective and scalable solution with essential tape support. As a result, Retrospect has reliably and securely managed the institute's massive data growth for over 13 years, fitting within their constrained budget and meeting all their stringent security requirements.
