Case Study: Beta Offshore achieves 100% recovery success and 3x faster Exchange backups with Veritas Technologies' Backup Exec

Beta Offshore Protects Gusher of Files with 100 Percent Recovery Success Using Veritas Backup Exec™

Beta Offshore, a Long Beach–based operator of three offshore oil rigs with about 250 employees, faced the challenge of protecting a complex environment—roughly 1.4 million files, dozens of virtual machines, and Microsoft workloads—while minimizing operational risk and keeping administration simple.

The company has relied on Veritas Backup Exec for eight years; the solution delivers a 100% recovery success rate to date, protects 1.4 million files, averages about four recoveries per month, and achieves a 98% backup success rate with roughly 3x faster Exchange backups versus Backup Exec 2010. Its intuitive interface reduces admin time to about 1–2 hours per week and supports fast tape-based restores, P2V/V2P options, and cloud integration for future flexibility.
