Bar-S Foods
With 1,500 employees, 400 computer users and five locations in Arizona and Oklahoma, Bar-S Foods in one of the 40 largest meat-processing companies in the U.S. Accurate backups and restores are critical, but with the company’s previous solution, backups or restores would fail about six times a year. Productivity time was lost as Bar-S employees had to repeat a day of data entry to replace the missing data. A switch to Symantec Backup Exec changed everything. Backups and restores have been 100 percent accurate during the eight months the solution has been in place. The restore process is quicker and simpler. Best of all, Bar-S computer users are now regaining confidence that the IT department can be trusted to back up their data.Platforms
