Case Study: M/I Homes achieves 90%+ backup management time savings and near-zero RTO with Rubrik Cloud Data Management

M/I Homes Streamlines Architecture and Saves Time with Rubrik Cloud Data Management

M/I Homes, a Columbus-based homebuilder and the 16th largest U.S. single-family builder, needed to modernize its backup and recovery. Its 33-person IT team was burdened by three disparate legacy solutions that required constant hands-on maintenance, produced slow, risky restores, and delivered unresponsive vendor support—consuming more than eight hours per week and exposing critical customer and financial systems to prolonged downtime.

By consolidating on Rubrik Cloud Data Management, M/I Homes implemented policy-driven backups, instant recovery, immutable copies for ransomware resilience, and Azure archival. The move cut backup management from eight hours to about eight minutes per week (>90% time savings), returned 48 days of productivity to the business, delivered near-zero RTO for mission-critical apps, simplified test/dev and remote-office protection, and provided faster, more reliable support.
