Case Study: Preactive IT Solutions achieves rapid ransomware recovery and business continuity with Altaro VM Backup

Texas-Based MSP Combats Ransomware Incidents with Ease using Altaro VM Backup

Preactive IT Solutions is a Houston- and Sugar Land-based managed service provider serving engineering and construction firms. When two customers were hit by ransomware that encrypted shared server files — and on other occasions when Windows updates or an obsolete application knocked servers offline — Preactive needed a fast way to recover systems without paying attackers or lengthy downtime.

Preactive relied on Altaro VM Backup’s instant-boot-from-backup and simple VM restore tools to boot affected machines from the most recent backup in seconds and run full restores in the background. The approach restored servers to production in minutes, kept users working (typically within about 10 minutes), and delivered flexible monthly pricing and responsive support for ongoing business continuity.
