Case Study: Philadelphia Bar Association achieves reduced backup management time and improved data reliability with TechValidate

Philadelphia Bar Association replaces Retrospect, reduces time spent managing backups

The Philadelphia Bar Association, a small professional-services organization, needed a more reliable endpoint backup solution to prevent data loss from lost/stolen laptops and hard-drive failures and to support its disaster recovery/business continuity plan. Prior data-loss incidents had drained IT resources, reduced employee productivity, and weakened confidence in the IT team while the organization relied on manual USB backups and Retrospect.

They deployed Code42 CrashPlan in a hybrid cloud setup (on-premises plus Code42’s public cloud), replacing Retrospect and manual backups after documenting end-user demand to secure budget and buy-in. The change increased backup reliability and security, cut costs and IT hours (saving 1–10 hours/week), sped migrations and restores, improved end-user productivity through self-service restores and mobile access, and supported compliance with HIPAA, PCI and SOX.
