Case Study: City of Fort Lupton achieves reliable backup and recovery with Unitrends

City Government Streamlines Backup Administration, Retention and Compliance Management With Unitrends Unified BCDR

City of Fort Lupton needed a better backup and disaster recovery solution after its previous vendor was acquired, renewal costs rose sharply, and the system became harder to use and support. With a small IT team managing virtualized workloads for email, financial systems, and emergency records, the city turned to Unitrends and its Recovery Series backup appliance with Unitrends Forever Cloud for off-site retention.

Unitrends implemented a backup and recovery platform that streamlined day-to-day administration, improved restore speed, and helped the city meet retention and compliance needs. The city now stores about 14TB after deduplication and compression, achieving roughly a 7:1 data reduction ratio, while also keeping backups for up to three years locally and longer for some records in the cloud. City staff report reliable backups, easy file recovery, and responsive support from Unitrends.
