Case Study: The Deal LLC achieves 99% faster backup scheduling and 95% faster file-level restores with Veeam Backup & Replication

Backup Scheduling Time Reduced by 99 Percent at The Deal LLC

The Deal LLC, a diversified media company serving corporate and financial dealmakers, ran most of its operations on VMware across two New York data centers. Their legacy backup product required time-consuming, script-based scheduling—about three hours weekly—and took two to three hours to perform file-level restores, especially for Linux LVMs, creating an administrative burden and slow recovery times. The company’s primary challenge was to reduce VMware backup scheduling effort and dramatically speed file-level restores.

By deploying Veeam Backup & Replication, The Deal gained an intuitive GUI for VM-level selection, real-time job stats and detailed notifications, and reliable LVM file recovery. Scheduling time dropped from three hours to about one minute (a 99% reduction), file-level restores went from hours to minutes (about a 95% improvement), and faster community and vendor support further cut administrative overhead and improved operational confidence.
