Case Study: Loraas Disposal Services achieves reliable remote data protection and rapid recovery with Unitrends

Loraas Disposal Services - Customer Case Study

Loraas Disposal Services is a Saskatchewan-based waste and recycling company serving 65,000 customers with over 60 trucks and 200 employees across nine remote locations. IT Manager Jason Wadden, with a small two-person team, was struggling with the complexity and reliability of tape-based Backup Exec and needed a simpler, more dependable way to protect distributed computing assets.

Wadden trialed Unitrends Recovery Series (starting with a 713) and deployed an 823S at headquarters plus an 818S and 713 at larger remote sites, along with a virtual backup appliance in the IT lab. The Unitrends solution enabled centralized remote management, fast restores (one recovery returned a corrupted HR database to the latest state in five minutes), and delivered ransomware protection, accidental-delete safeguards and full disaster recovery while reducing administrative overhead.
