Case Study: New Fairfield School District achieves reliable, time-saving endpoint backups with CrashPlan (validated by TechValidate)

New Fairfield School District replaces Symantec BackupExec with CrashPlan

New Fairfield School District, an educational institution, faced the fallout of endpoint data loss that drained IT resources and eroded confidence in the IT department. As part of a broader disaster recovery and business continuity initiative, the district sought a more reliable, manageable endpoint backup solution to prevent future disruptions.

They deployed CrashPlan as a private cloud (on-premises) replacement for manual USB backups and Symantec Backup Exec, after documenting the costs of a prior data loss to secure budget and buy-in. The change delivered more consistent, reliable endpoint backups, reduced IT time spent on backups and restores, and saved the IT team an estimated 1–10 hours per week.
