Case Study: Aboriginal Peoples TV Network achieves ransomware protection and rapid recovery with Veeam

Aboriginal Peoples TV Network channels Veeam for ransomware protection

Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), the world’s first indigenous broadcaster in Canada, relies on core systems like Avatega scheduling, Microsoft Dynamics and SQL Server to deliver programming and business operations. When their legacy Backup Exec proved slow, difficult to use and left them vulnerable to hours or days of downtime after ransomware or disasters, APTN sought a faster, more reliable recovery solution.

APTN implemented Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 to protect 15 TB across 36 Hyper‑V VMs, replicate to an offsite DR site and send air‑gapped copies to Storagepipe’s cloud. The deployment delivers minute‑level recoveries with Instant VM Recovery and Veeam Explorers, full protection and control of Office 365 data, and stronger ransomware resilience by meeting the 3-2-1-1-0 rule, with plans to add immutable repositories.
