Case Study: TEC Equipment achieves reliable, lower-cost endpoint backups and faster restores with TechValidate

TEC Equipment replaces Symantec Backup Exec with CrashPlan for laptop/desktop backup

TEC Equipment, a medium‑enterprise in the automotive and transport sector, needed a simpler, more reliable way to protect laptop and desktop data after relying on manual USB backups and Symantec. Management was initially skeptical, but a near‑immediate real‑world test — an unrecoverable file server failure — proved the value of a new approach to prevent data loss from lost/stolen devices and drive crashes.

They moved to CrashPlan (Code42) as a fully hosted public‑cloud solution with encrypted storage, replacing manual and Symantec backups. The implementation delivered more consistent, reliable endpoint backups, faster restores, reduced backup management costs and IT hours, fewer support tickets, better support for legal holds and migrations, and improved end‑user productivity.
