Case Study: Brownlee LLP achieves rapid restores and ransomware protection with Unitrends Recovery

Getting Good Data Protection Shouldn’t Require a Lawyer

Brownlee LLP is a mid-sized regional law firm with offices in Calgary and Edmonton serving clients across Alberta and northern territories. Facing rapid data growth and the need to protect a wide range of sensitive legal information, the firm moved away from tape-based Symantec Backup Exec toward disk-based appliances but experienced space and restore problems with an initial Barracuda solution.

Brownlee replaced that appliance with Unitrends Recovery 823/822, using a trial and guided onboarding. The Unitrends interface provided clear visibility into storage and backups and simple, reliable restores; routine file recoveries now take five minutes or less, and the firm has used Unitrends to recover from ransomware infections multiple times with minimal data loss, delivering faster restores and greater peace of mind.
