Case Study: Tax Analysts achieves 4-hour backup windows and 100% reliable restores with SEP Software (SEP sesam)

Tax Analysts - Customer Case Study

Tax Analysts, a nonprofit provider of tax news and analysis, was struggling with unreliable backups that reported “successful” restores but produced corrupt or missing data, and with full backup windows ballooning to 30–50 hours—jeopardizing nightly publication deadlines. Manager Bill Davis evaluated options and chose SEP Software’s SEP sesam to replace the failing solution.

SEP Software deployed SEP sesam, which was installed and configured in about 45 minutes and immediately delivered reliable, direct restores for Linux and Windows; Davis verified dozens of successful restores. With SEP sesam Tax Analysts cut their full backup window from 30–50 hours to roughly 4 hours (4.5 hours including a very large system), now backs up at least 150% more data in only 8–12% of the prior time, and benefits from fast, effective SEP support.
