Case Study: carsales.com.au achieves 99% faster recovery and 65% lower backup costs with Veeam

Carsales.com drives secure backup of Microsoft 365 data and VMs to Azure with Veeam

carsales.com, Australia’s largest online automotive marketplace, needed a cloud-ready, easy-to-use way to protect Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams as it moved Microsoft 365 to Azure. The IT team required reliable, fast recovery to ensure business continuity but found their existing Commvault tape-based approach complex, slow and costly.

They deployed Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and Veeam Availability Suite to Azure, backing up 24 TB of Microsoft 365 data for 1,080 users and 60 TB across 60 VMs (plus one physical machine), with long-term retention in Azure Archive. The move eliminated tape, enabled 45 restore options in three clicks, cut backup costs by about 65% and reduced recovery times from days to minutes (99% faster), while meeting seven-year retention requirements.
