Case Study: UAP Holdings Limited reduces storage by 7% and cuts full backup time by 97% with Veritas Technologies' NetBackup

UAP Group Reduces Storage Needs with Veritas NetBackup™ Solutions

UAP Holdings Limited, a pan‑African financial services group with 12 business units across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan, Rwanda and the DRC, faced rapidly growing data across many remote sites. The company’s tape‑based backups were becoming inefficient and hard to validate or restore, so UAP needed to standardize, secure and speed up backup processes to support growth and regulatory requirements.

UAP deployed Veritas NetBackup 5230 appliances to centralize data protection, enable deduplication, fast granular recovery, encryption and real‑time replication. The solution reduced backup storage needs by 7%, cut full backup time from two days to 1.5 hours, automated reporting, improved restore capabilities and freed IT staff to focus on higher‑value work while strengthening data security.
