Case Study: SmartPak Equine achieves rapid ransomware recovery and off-site cloud backup redundancy with Unitrends Recovery 926S & Unitrends Forever Cloud

Adding Cloud to Create a Complete Data Protection and Recovery Solution

SmartPak Equine, a retail company founded to simplify equine supplement and health care for riders, faced an aging tape-based backup environment and limited IT staffing. Manual weekly off-site archives and an old Veritas NetBackup system made backups labor-intensive and left the company vulnerable without reliable off-site protection.

SmartPak deployed a Unitrends Recovery 926S appliance with 1 TB of Unitrends Forever Cloud to create disk-based, “set-and-forget” backups that automatically replicate off-site. When ransomware struck, they restored all files and were back online within a day; the solution delivered faster recovery, reduced management overhead, and off-site redundancy for greater peace of mind.
