The California Healthcare Association (CHA) (Sacramento, CA) represents
hospitals, health systems, and other healthcare providers in California in the
state and federal legislative processes. On a daily basis, approximately 60
employees at CHA save important project and document files to multiple servers.
Executives at CHA were worried that this important data would be lost. For
several years, CHA had been using a backup system for each of the organization's
servers, but the program did not properly perform scheduled backups or restore
critical files.
Provide Daily Backups Of Important Documents
IT staff at the California Healthcare Association downloaded UltraBac Software
(Bellevue, WA) backup software in a free trial. Soon after, the program was
installed on two servers at CHA's headquarters. "Backups ran as scheduled, and
recovering a file or an entire server was straightforward," says Terry Sherb,
CIO at CHA. "UltraBac's driver support for storage devices made our plan for
integrating the solution into our existing network hardware hassle free."
Backups are now automatically scheduled to run every night. First, an image is
created of the hard drive of every server on the network. Then UltraBac, running
on the primary backup server, stores the server images on tape.
Since the backups are image-based, they can be recovered quickly if disaster
strikes or important data is lost. "With our imaging software and off-site tape
rotations, we now have a reliable backup solution," says Sherb.
