Case Study: NASA achieves decades of reliable backup protection with Retrospect Backup

NASA Relies on Retrospect Backup for Two Decades of Protection

NASA, the United States government agency responsible for the civilian space program, faced the challenge of protecting critical servers supporting the Hubble Space Telescope with a solution that required multi-platform support and could operate within budget constraints. To meet this need, their partner Honeywell Technology Solutions implemented Retrospect Backup.

The solution provided by Retrospect delivered easy-to-use scripting, automated tape functionality, and reliable cross-platform support for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. This enabled NASA to perform successful point-in-time restores of data, even recovering a seven-year-old file for an engineer. The implementation of Retrospect has provided the agency with two decades of dependable protection for its vital data.
