Veeam Backup

Datek helps a client modernise a backup strategy that had relied on a single nightly backup running for hours and frequently still active at 8am. The outdated approach leaves the business exposed to significant data loss risk throughout the working day. By implementing Veeam Backup and Replication, Datek enables the client to perform more frequent backups in half the time, running live server backups during business hours without impacting operations. Datek identifies this as a common problem across many businesses still relying on tape-based, once-daily backup methods that carry unnecessary risk and lack any coherent data protection strategy.

Datek has helped a client improve its backup strategy by implementing Veeam Backup & Replication.

Traditionally the client was backing up huge volumes of data once a night, which was often still left running at 8 am. This method of backup meant the business was at great risk of losing valuable data should there have been a failure during the day.

Datek were on hand to assist the client in improving their backup strategy with Veeam Backup & Replication.

This has enabled the client to backup more frequently and in half the time required by their traditional method, allowing more frequent backups to take place during the day on live servers without impacting the business.

However, this client is not alone. We find that many businesses are still functioning in a very dated way when it comes to backup solutions, using tapes that are being replaced every day and running throughout the night.

This old-fashioned method of backup poses huge risks of data loss, with backups only taking place once every 24 hours with no strategy in mind.
