### Developing a greater understanding of IT Administrator needs in the Backup and DR space

It's been a big year for Macrium Software. We've invested heavily in our sales and marketing teams to help us bring Macrium Reflect to an even wider audience, and been working on developing our channel go-to-market strategy. Most importantly, we’ve released the latest version of Macrium Reflect to rave reviews in the marketplace, and our customers tell us we have the fastest restore available.

Our customers and prospective customers are at the forefront of all we do. We conducted this research to hear straight from the horse's mouth – what do they want out of a backup and DR solution?

Almost 500 respondents filled in our research survey, which covered their biggest headaches with backup and DR, how they manage their backups and what would be featured in their perfect solution. There have been some interesting results come out of the survey, providing thought provoking insights into the dynamics of this market. There is a real fear of backup failure that suppliers need to address, and ease of use is cited continuously as the most desirable solution feature. We were also very pleased with the resounding positive endorsement we got from the respondents about our products and support.

We hope you find the following survey results of interest. At Macrium we pride ourselves on producing an excellent product that our customers trust to 'save their bacon' whenever disaster strikes.

Dentius Case Study

#### Executive Summary

![Dentius Logo](https://strapistoragemacrium.blob.core.windows.net/strapi-uploads/uploads/dentius_logo_92c6be6d8a.jpg)

Dentius has been relying on Macrium backup and imaging technology since 2016. All licenses are deployed and managed by Macrium Site Manager and MultiSite. Macrium has asked John Du Preez, the IT Manager of Dentius, to share their story why they chose Macrium over other solutions.

#### Challenges

Dentius has dental practices all around Belgium. As the company has been growing and opening new sites, the ability to manage all locations and have a “single pane of glass” became a challenge.

Before discovering Macrium, Dentius was using several different solutions at the same time to cover their needs.  _"The idea is that every dental practice, in general, knows that they need to backup, but that has been interpreted in multiple ways. Generally speaking, as we incorporate the new practices in our group, I found that we were running various solutions for backing-up. That could be anything from an application that was completely over-the-top for the current needs, or it could be a home-based solution that I thought was not adequate.”_

The challenge was to consolidate all the needs in one solution, not just having the same tool installed on all workstations, but also to have all sites connected to a central management tool. _“The first challenge was to find something that really brought us all together and started to consolidate our practices in terms of backing-up. It was important for us was to be able to monitor and keep on eye on the practices."_

Scalability and automation of the process are essential for any growing company.  _“Before starting to use Macrium, it was a very manual process; I would have to run through practice to practice to see their status and to make sure everything was okay. As we continue to grow, that became a scaling issue. We got to the point that we needed something more scalable and manageable, and frankly something that was also more consistent.”_

> "I am fantastically excited about this solution. I think that works well, we have good communication with Macrium, we get support whenever we need it"
John Du Preez – Dentius

#### How did Macrium help?

Macrium Site Manager and MultiSite helped Dentius to address their critical challenges – scalability and an ability to control and monitor all backup installations. _"As we added new practices, the hope was to have a standardised approach and that we could simplify the solution, and we could install in a standardised way. Incorporate a single dashboard, so we can keep one eye on a centralised space. That is why we came to Macrium."_

The Site Manager dashboard is customisable, enabling you to prioritise the display of relevant metrics and alerts. This makes it easier to spot failing backups and provides an administrator with the tools to identify problems. Backup definitions are easy to create as well as, assigning schedules and retention policies, and manage backup repositories. It includes comprehensive event management, alerts and security logging. The architecture leverages commonly used Microsoft Windows technologies and requires no specialist skills to install and configure.

Macrium MultiSite addresses the scaling issue and allows Dentius to plan the expansion of the operations.  _“The selling point was MultiSite; I think we had already invested in Macrium before that point anyway, but I thought MultiSite is something that fitted our long-term vision as well.”_

This platform is a cloud-based solution, and it is very simple

and quick to directly connect to a Site Manager instance from within the management console enabling a single point of administration and reporting for all your Site Manager installations. There is no limitation in the number

of installations that you can control with MultiSite. Moreover, you can see everything at a glance, with rolled-up reporting, alerts, and an easy to use backup management tool.

![dentius-2](https://strapistoragemacrium.blob.core.windows.net/strapi-uploads/uploads/dentius_2_22ecb8ae1f.PNG)

_"MultiSite was absolutely the most fundamentally important aspect of the software as a whole. I interact with it daily and it allows me to organise a really dispersed group of practices all across Belgium (and soon across France and Germany as well). We were struggling to manage the geographical dispersion, and now with the use of MultiSite it has become something that is scalable and manageable. It is great value for me; by far the most valuable aspect of Reflect."_

#### Results

As a result, Dentius implement the strategy of use Macrium Reflect every day. 

_“We backup every night, we do a full backup on the weekends and differentials for the rest of the week."_

>"You don’t need a (University) degree to be able to use it"
John Du Preez – Dentius

Dentius is a fast-growing collaboration of dental practices with a strong focus on quality, innovation and services. With 33 dental practices all around Belgium, Dentius want to play a pioneering role in the further professionalisation of Belgian dentistry. It was co-founded by three dentists and strives to cooperate with good, motivated dentists in the sector and to support them in providing quality, efficient and above all patient-oriented care.

Case Studies

The Lonely IT Adminstrator

<h3>Building loyalty with the lonely IT Administrator</h3>
For many IT Administrators, even those in large organisations, they are operating within a small, fragmented IT infrastructure. How do you address the challenges they face and meet their complex needs in backup and DR?
<h3>Some history</h3>
Up until recently backup meant putting an appropriately labelled tape in the backup drive and hoping that an incremental copy of the target machines is safely copied to the tape. DR involved sending one backup tape a month to an off-site location for secure storage. IT Administrators in both large and small enterprises became very familiar with this approach and whilst the technology could be erratic, it provided a measure of reassurance that if the worst should happen there was a fall back option. As regards home users, well, they had limited options beyond keeping copies of critical files on floppy disks and hoping for the best.
Today the options backup and DR are many and varied with the pace of innovation at an all-time high. Even so Backup and DR is sometimes regarded as a dark art, often the poor relation when it comes to IT budgets in small and medium enterprises.
<h3>What is driving change in the backup and DR space?</h3>
Over the past 10 years the main innovation drivers in the backup, recovery and DR sectors have been; massive growth in storage capabilities and with it stored data, server virtualization, imaging technologies, and IT Systems Management frameworks. A new wave of creative technology companies have grasped the opportunity to leverage these innovations to build increasingly capable solutions. Because of the rapid change the market has fragmented somewhat into focused niche players, established generalists and framework based solutions.
Virtualization in particular has, for the past 8-10 years, fed a string of very successful niche players in the VMware ecosystem. This, at the same time as VMware is strengthening their own backup and DR offerings in direct competition to their ecosystem partners! How this competition will end depends on the penetration VMware makes with their management frameworks vs. the likes of Microsoft and System Center.
While the virtualization move has been getting a lot of attention, many business are still only partially virtual or not virtualized at all. The traditional, physical, Windows backup and DR sector has seen less hype, however, the pace of innovation has been almost as great.
Backup to the cloud is a more recent phenomenon and is currently getting the most hype and focus from established and traditional vendors alike. The growth of cloud backup appliances, hybrid of software and hardware tailored for backup, has seen a number of new entrants in the past five years. These days it seems that almost every VAR, VAD, MSP etc. is offering some kind of hosted or managed backup service for small and medium enterprises. However, the level of adoption and trust in cloud based backup and DR is more difficult to measure.
<h3>Large and fragmented</h3>
When considering the backup and DR requirements of different organisations, the usual approach of vendors and their channel networks is to segment by size, then by level of server virtualization. Resellers in particular have this approach down to a fine art and have learned to tailor their sales pitch very effectively. There is however an alternative approach for assessing and positioning backup and DR needs and that is based on the size of the &ldquo;local&rdquo; IT infrastructure. Many large organisations have quite fragmented IT infrastructures because of branch offices scattered across countries and continents. While these branch offices may be part of a very large enterprise, often the needs of the local IT administrator are more closely aligned to those of a SME than a typical HQ centric large enterprise.
<h3>Looking after the local IT Administrator</h3>
As previously alluded to, backup and DR needs are quite often not directly addressed in IT budgets or policies and procedures. There is a growing awareness, especially in SMEs, of the need for effective backup and DR, however, when faced with a choice between a &ldquo;one size fits all&rdquo; and a niche product, the result is often both are used. The needs of the local IT administrator who is often isolated from HQ, or is managing multiple SME estates, can be distilled into four key areas. The solution must be very easy to deploy, be fast, have exceptional reliability, and provide recovery/restore utilities that take minutes not hours. To understand this one must look at the requirement from the perspective of the local IT administrator. They will typically be working by themselves without the support of a large team or out of hours support. They will be wearing many hats, covering all the IT needs from jammed printers to firewall security, and backup and DR. Anything that removes complexity from their responsibilities and provides peace of mind for backup and recovery, will win their loyalty.
Because backup and DR is often a low priority in IT Budgets, the buying decision is pushed down to the IT administrators in small or fragmented infrastructures. If vendors pay attention to their needs (simplicity, speed, reliability, recoverability) then that solution will be favoured. Typically IT administrators are likely to share their experiences with peers, through online forums or blogs, therefore good news (and bad) about backup and DR solutions will reach the wider community.
<h3>Summary</h3>
IT administrators need backup and DR solutions that address their needs directly. Simplicity, speed, reliability and trouble free recovery are what they are desire most. By building such solutions and then addressing them as a unique market segment vendors and partners can build loyalty and grow the customer base.

Opinion Pieces

Macrium Software Launches Deployment Product with Potential to Save IT Professionals “Days of Work”

MANCHESTER, UK (17th May 2023)  - [Macrium Software](https://www.macrium.com), the industry leader in image-based backup and recovery software, has announced the launch of Macrium SiteDeploy®, a new product with the potential to save IT professionals days of work on Windows operating system (OS) deployment. 

In a digitally transforming world, the need for organizations to access and restore their devices remotely and at scale, whether PCs, laptops, thin clients or servers, is only becoming greater. 

Macrium SiteDeploy® is designed to reduce the number of manual steps performed during the deployment process. This can significantly cut complexity and reduce deployment time, potentially saving IT teams days of work*. 

For example, deploying 100 Windows PCs using Macrium SiteDeploy® with Microsoft Sysprep answer file injection could equate to a time saving of 16 hours, or two working days, compared to the manual processes widely used in the industry. This could free up time, resources and budget for businesses to focus on strategic priorities and innovation.

“Despite how crucial and ubiquitous it is across all organizations and industries, creating and deploying images remains a headache for IT professionals,” explained Nick Sills, CEO of Macrium Software. 

“A  full deployment process can involve many manual steps. This means it often takes significantly longer than projected, costing businesses time and money. On the other hand, much of the software on the market to automate deployment includes convoluted features. These are often unnecessary and can get very expensive, very quickly.”

Imaging and deployment are required in many scenarios across most businesses and organizations. It enables multiple or large numbers of endpoints - e.g., computers, servers or thin clients, to be built or restored to a set state. This standardizes OSs, so apps, software and security settings run consistently across devices. It also reduces the time and resources needed and offers greater control over configuring and managing IT infrastructure. 

### Cutting complexity 

A common challenge with imaging and deployment is how complicated the deployment process can become. One of the causes of this is the need for businesses to deploy to different types of hardware. Using Macrium’s proprietary software ReDeploy and Driver Harvesting, Macrium SiteDeploy® can alleviate this by ensuring deployments work across disparate hardware. Macrium SiteDeploy® also automates partition resizing, taking away yet another step often performed manually by IT admins.

Its intuitive dashboard empowers users to deploy, monitor and manage large volumes of endpoints from one place. Offering greater control over system and process management, Macrium SiteDeploy® also allows IT admins to organize images and repositories using custom tags, even at scale.

### Faster deployment 
Another key aim behind the development of Macrium SiteDeploy® is to cut the time deployment takes. With a built-in Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) and the ability to inject templated answer files for Microsoft Sysprep, Macrium SiteDeploy® can save hours in setup time. The answer file allows admins to reduce manual configuration and bypass the out-of-box experience with preconfigured admin accounts and active directory settings.

The launch of Macrium SiteDeploy® comes following a two-month beta testing program. The response from early adopters, who ranged from Sysadmins at SMEs and large businesses to PC build technicians and IT professionals in healthcare and education, has been “overwhelmingly positive”, continued Sills.
“Feedback from our first wave of users includes that Macrium SiteDeploy® saved them significant amounts of time and would remove the need for specialized training. Several are eager to adopt it in the long-term and believe they can easily make a business case to do so,” he continued. “This bears testimony to the exciting potential Macrium SiteDeploy® holds for a diverse range of businesses and organizations.”

“We are proud to bring Macrium SiteDeploy® to the market and look forward to seeing the tangible benefits it will bring to our new and existing customers.”

As businesses prioritize digital transformation and work to scale up their remote operations, the global OS imaging and deployment software market is projected to grow by 14% between 2022 and 2030⁺.

*During testing carried out by Macrium Software, manually completing admin tasks after a new image was deployed to a PC took an average of nine minutes and twenty five seconds. Macrium SiteDeploy® enables the user to bypass this process. Test results available on demand.

<a title="Severn Trent Water" href="https://www.stwater.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="/files-2/stw.png" alt="Severn Trent Water" width="417" /></a>
Loz Rimington, IS Field Support, describes how they have utilised Macrium&rsquo;s Deployment Kit.
Severn Trent was formed in 1974 as a regional, state-owned water authority based in Birmingham and responsible for water management and supply, and waste water treatment and disposal in the rivers Severn and Trent.
<h4>It's personal&hellip;</h4>
Loz first found out about Macrium after he had trouble restoring Windows 8 on his personal Dell laptop and found his current provider wasn't cutting the mustard. A quick search through some online forums and he discovered that Macrium Reflect was highly thought of, so he downloaded the free edition.
<blockquote>
"It just worked! I liked the interface and was so impressed that Macrium gave away a free edition for home users that I mentioned it to my work colleagues".
</blockquote>
<h4>A lifesaver</h4>
Severn Trent Water were having significant problems getting their current backup supplier to image or restore on their corporate Dell laptops, especially as the&nbsp;corporate laptops were all encrypted, so they gave Macrium a trial and were very impressed with the results.
<blockquote>
"One of Macrium&rsquo;s best features has to be the speed. Suddenly even the largest images could be backed up and restored incredibly quickly, more than twice as fast as our previous supplier".
</blockquote>
Other features of interest have been the ability to automate and clone live machines. The team have found the interface superb and very easy to use.
<blockquote>
"What you see is exactly what you get. This solution is much less complicated to use than their competitors and ticks all our boxes!"
</blockquote>
<h4>Deployment Kit</h4>
Severn Trent Water will be using Macrium's new deployment kit in their organisation. This allows them to use the power of the Macrium Technician's License to create and deploy images in their enterprise. One single user can now image multiple servers and PCs.
<blockquote>
"We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Macrium to other businesses, and it's nice to see a British home grown product!".
</blockquote>

New CMC helps reduce risks associated with data loss and downtime

<a href="http://www.itworks.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">IT Works</a>&nbsp;in Scotland have been using Macrium for a number of years to ensure their clients' desktops and servers are protected should disaster strike. They were one of the first of Macrium&rsquo;s resellers to trial the new central management console and Martin Paul from IT Works has some great feedback on this fantastic new tool from Macrium Software.
<blockquote>
"The software allows IT Works to focus more effectively, thereby effectively reducing the risk associated with data loss and downtime. This gives peace of mind for the client in knowing that their systems/data is available to them when they need it most."
</blockquote>
<h4>Shedding light on risks</h4>
Martin was pleased that the interface allowed IT Works to quickly and easily shed light on any potential risks and let them know when anything has failed and keep quiet when it hasn&rsquo;t!
Martin has been particularly impressed by the software updates.
<blockquote>
"With any other software updates, there is a 50% chance it may fail and break. But I can trust Macrium updates every time. It is incredibly quick, in fact no other software updates are quite as fast!"
</blockquote>
For IT Works, CMC offers them a new commercial opportunity to push out to their client base with a solution that works effectively and easily. Martin and the team at IT Works are looking forward to completing their training.
<blockquote>
"The interface is incredibly slick and responsive with support that is second to none."

#### Best boot forward

Rando had been looking for a new backup and recovery solution to sell onto his clients. Something that was fast, reliable and worked effectively. After some research Rando discovered Macrium Reflect.

> _"I was pleasantly surprised to discover Macrium Reflect and the great features it bought to the table. By far the best feature offered was not needing to prepare a boot menu in advance and being able to get the image straight from the network, it certainly did the trick!"._

#### Sawing off time

Rando's client is Cambimill Sakala who operate in timber sawing in Estonia. They needed a full backup and recovery solution that could easily restore images.

> _"Our client needed to backup their production and desktop computers and wanted to feel confident that the backup was working at all times."_

Before using Macrium, the client had been using tape based backup and sadly this had led to data disaster. A secretary had been using this tape based solution for a couple of years and had been diligently changing the tape each morning. Sadly it wasn't until something went wrong and they needed to restore that they realised the backup hadn't been working for all that time!

Rando is confident that Macrium is the right backup and recovery solution for all their reseller needs.

> _"We've been so impressed with the solution that we intend on selling into all our customers in Estonia!"._

Mike has been installing Macrium Reflect on home and business user&rsquo;s computers for some time now and is very complimentary about the popular backup and recovery solution.
<blockquote>
&ldquo;I love Macrium Reflect. It always works for me and most importantly of all, I trust it to work every time&rdquo;.
</blockquote>
Mike works with a number of small businesses and residential users and spends a lot of time trying to educate his customers on the value of backing up their data. Sadly, they often don&rsquo;t realise the importance until it&rsquo;s too late.
Mike has used a number of other backup solutions in the past, but finds that Macrium Reflect has more things going for it.
<blockquote>
&ldquo;The other solutions can be a bit hit or miss and I was never 100% confident that they were doing their job. In particular, Reflect&rsquo;s bootable rescue media has a great tool for repairing Windows boot problems and has got me out of many a hole in the past!&rdquo;&nbsp;
</blockquote>
Mike particularly likes the differential backups on offer and likes the fact that they are part of the free version.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
&ldquo;Whatever the developers did, they&rsquo;ve done a great job! Macrium has saved me hours rather than having to go back and restore factory images. Macrium always makes me look good with my clients!&rdquo;
</blockquote>

Macrium speak to Nigel Poore who runs Poorly PC, a Suffolk based PC support company who provide help to small businesses across the country.
<h3>Imaging tool of choice</h3>
Nigel has been using Macrium Reflect for around 8 years now as a home user, and within a business environment, Macrium Reflect has been his imaging tool of choice for four years now.
<h4>Snapshot</h4>
Nigel has found Macrium Reflect particularly helpful when a lot of his clients were coming to him for help on managing the Windows 10 upgrade. Nigel was fully expecting things to go wrong and bought a Macrium Technician&rsquo;s License, which allowed him to take a snapshot just in case he needed to restore to a previous version and start again.
<blockquote>
"It was great having Macrium as a comfort blanket and I could be sure that, should I need to, I could get back any data that has been lost. I can dig around to my heart&rsquo;s content without worrying!"
</blockquote>
<h4>What makes Macrium such a great tool?</h4>
<blockquote>
"Hands down, it has to be the reliability of the software. I can be confident that it will always work and I can get the image back. It is incredibly easy to use and great to see Macrium&rsquo;s focus on creating such a fantastic backup tool. I've always found the support guys to be very helpful, quick and accurate when answering my queries".
