Purdue University – Bare Metal Restore
IT Manager Saves Three Hours a Day and Enjoys Seamless Upgrades with Paragon’s Drive Backup
David Hoffmann, IT Manager, supports over 2,500 students and faculty, and wanted increased productivity through affordable, comprehensive, and easy to use technology. David decided to streamline his backup and disaster recovery procedures by replacing two existing software products with one solution from Paragon. Paragon’s Drive Backup Server allows him to make disk to disk backups instead of saving his archives to tape. Paragon’s bare-metal restore capability via Adaptive Restore provides for a seamless upgrade path when replacing decommissioned servers by restoring images to dissimilar hardware platforms quickly and easily.
“Paragon has saved me about three hours/day not including the hour or two I would spend on troubleshooting the old software. Since I can rely on it, I no longer have to spend time figuring out why my backup didn’t run, Paragon just works!” - David Hoffmann, IT Manager, IUPUI
