Case Study: CAMICO (CPA insurance carrier) achieves fast, reliable VM backup and 10-minute recovery with Veeam Availability Suite

CPA Insurance Carrier Counts Veeam as Valuable Asset for VM Backup and DR

CAMICO Mutual Insurance Company, the nation’s largest CPA‑directed insurance program provider, runs a fully virtualized VMware environment and needed robust data protection and disaster recovery. Their small IT team faced slow, inconsistent VM backups that stressed production systems, lengthy tape-based restores, limited recovery points and long RTOs—risking crippling data loss for CPA clients.

CAMICO deployed Veeam Availability Suite for local VM backups, offsite replication and unified monitoring, reporting and capacity planning. The switch cut the daily backup window from 24 to 5.5 hours, reduced recovery time from 36 hours to 10 minutes, increased restore points from 48 to 365 per year, extended onsite retention to four months while lowering storage needs, and enabled instant file‑level recoveries in minutes—simplifying operations for the small IT team.
