Case Study: Acceptance Insurance achieves backup SLA compliance, faster restores, and reduced ransomware risk with Cohesity

Acceptance Insurance Streamlines Compliance and Minimizes the Risk of Ransomware with Cohesity

Acceptance Insurance, a Nashville‑based personal auto insurer with roughly 1,400 employees, faced strict regulatory data‑retention requirements and rapidly growing storage needs—more than 286 TB of claims and policy records. Their legacy Quest Rapid Recovery backup environment was slow and complex, routinely missing maintenance windows and requiring up to a day and a half to perform compliance restores and audits.

Acceptance replaced the legacy stack with Cohesity DataProtect on‑premises and Cohesity Backup as a Service for M365 on AWS. Daily and incremental backups now finish within the 24‑hour window, test‑clone creation time dropped nearly 90% (from ~1.5 days to a few hours), and IT reduced CapEx and infrastructure overhead. The consolidated solution simplified backup and restore management and improved ransomware detection and rapid recovery through immutable backups.
