Case Study: Genova Technologies achieves comprehensive Office 365 protection and disaster recovery with Unitrends

Extending Unitrends Protection to Office 365 in the Cloud

Genova Technologies, a Cedar Rapids engineering services firm founded in 1993 with about 50 employees, develops embedded, application and mobile software for commercial and defense customers. After moving to Microsoft Office 365 in the cloud, Genova’s IT team faced a new data protection gap—Office 365’s native tools provide limited restore capabilities—so IT Analyst Dave Cork turned to their existing Unitrends Recovery 713S to extend backup coverage.

Genova implemented Unitrends Cloud Backup for Office 365 alongside their Recovery 713S, enabling mailbox, folder, contact and OneDrive restores, long-term point-in-time recovery, and full disaster-recovery protection. The deployment proved reliable and mature (even through beta), delivered ransomware and accidental-delete protection, and came with responsive technical support—leaving Genova confident that all applications are now fully protected.
