Case Study: Schalke 04 prevents data loss with Acronis and backupheld

German football club Schalke 04 replaces Veeam, prevents data loss with backupheld and Acronis

Schalke 04, the popular German football club, was dealing with data loss and an inadequate backup setup that relied on local storage, Microsoft 365 native capabilities, and a Veeam data storage application. With a small nine-person IT team and employees saving files locally instead of in the cloud, the club needed a more reliable way to protect data and support offboarding.

Acronis, together with MSP backupheld, implemented Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud to provide cloud-based backup and easier administration. Since moving to Acronis, Schalke 04 has avoided further data loss, improved data retention and offboarding policies, and freed its IT team from daily backup management so it can focus on higher-priority work.
