Case Study: Klinikum Worms achieves nearly 100% data recovery and safeguards vital patient records with Veritas Technologies NetBackup

Klinikum Worms delivers top performance in the care of patients and their data

Klinikum Worms is a 696‑bed regional medical center in Rhineland‑Palatinate, Germany, serving tens of thousands of in- and outpatients each year. Because its AGFA ORBIS hospital information system holds several terabytes of vital clinical data (from orders and exam results to imaging), the IT team needed a highly reliable backup strategy for a complex, partially virtualized environment where data availability can be life‑critical.

The hospital implemented Veritas NetBackup (AGFA‑certified) with partner Serviceware, backing virtual clients to a SAN with nightly full backups, frequent incremental snapshots, weekly full file‑system backups and monthly tape exports. The solution delivers nearly 100% successful restores, high virtual‑machine backup success, 24/7 reliable operation and only occasional vendor support for hardware issues.
