Case Study: Winnipeg Technical College achieves reliable full nightly backups in 4–5 hours with SEP Software

Winnipeg Technical College - Customer Case Study

Winnipeg Technical College, a multi-campus post‑secondary institution, was struggling with Backup Exec as its primary backup product: daily full backups had grown from an intended eight‑hour window to over fourteen hours, jobs were failing and support was unreliable. Seeking a faster, more dependable solution, the college evaluated and selected SEP Software’s backup and disaster recovery solution to meet the needs of its heterogeneous Windows/Linux and VMware environment.

SEP Software installed its solution quickly—Winnipeg Technical College reports a full production switchover in under three hours—and enabled image‑level and file‑level backups for its VMware and physical servers. The result: full nightly backups are now completed in four to five hours (down from more than fourteen), jobs can be started simultaneously without juggling order, and the environment requires far less hands‑on management, dramatically improving reliability and reducing administrative effort.
