Case Study: Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust achieves 98% faster VM recovery and near‑100% backup success with Veeam

Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust provides uninterrupted life changing services with data protection by Veeam

Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust delivers physical, mental health and learning disability services across roughly 50 sites to a population of about 1 million, supporting nearly 5,000 staff. The Trust found its Backup Exec solution could no longer keep up with growing data volumes — backups and restores were slow and unreliable, threatening IT continuity and the delivery of essential clinical services.

The Trust deployed Veeam Data Platform — Advanced to simplify and automate backups, adopt a 3-2-1-0 strategy (with plans for immutable backups and cloud integration), and run frequent restore tests. As a result, VM recoveries are now 98% faster, backup success rates are nearly 100%, RTOs for critical data have been reduced (to about four hours), and the IT team has reclaimed time while significantly improving cyber‑resilience.
