Case Study: DMLO CPAs achieves 99% faster data recovery to meet tax‑filing deadlines with Veeam Backup & Replication

CPA Firm Counts on Veeam Availability to Meet Tax-Filing Deadlines

DMLO CPAs, a Louisville‑based accounting firm with 100 employees and nearly 7,000 clients, faced a critical challenge: slow data recovery during peak tax seasons (April and October) risked missed filing deadlines, IRS penalties, malpractice claims and lost billable hours. With associates relying on dozens of desktop applications and constant access to client data, the firm needed a faster, more reliable backup strategy to protect revenue and reputation.

DMLO replaced legacy backup with Veeam Backup & Replication, backing up 27 VMware vSphere VMs (6 TB) to Dell EMC Data Domain and delivering 24x7 availability. Veeam restores spreadsheets and other items in under 15 minutes (about 99% faster), preserves would‑be billing time (average billing >$100/hr), and shortens disaster‑recovery from seven days to one business day—helping the firm meet tax‑filing deadlines and protect client services.
