SA Eagle, like all insurance companies, is dependent on its data and customer records. The company must be able to back up and restore all its data for its daily functioning, as well as to help with insurance investigations, and to meet disaster recovery regulatory requirements.

It was using several different systems for overnight backups, and those backups did not always complete by morning, sometimes leaving the company without backups.
