Case Study: Tecteo Group achieves 60% faster backups, minute-fast restores and 80% cost savings with Veeam Backup & Replication

Energy and Telecommunications Cooperative Simplifies Backup and Recovery with Veeam

Tecteo Group, an inter‑municipal energy and telecommunications cooperative in Belgium with 800 VMware vSphere VMs across two datacentres, faced slow, unreliable and costly backups after merging several organizations. Their legacy tape‑based solution took up to 10 hours to back up Exchange VMs, often spilled into the workday, required agents and specific storage, and left restores taking about four hours—failing to meet RTOs/RPOs or business needs.

Installed by Bull, Veeam Backup & Replication provided an agentless, storage‑agnostic solution that cut Exchange backup time by about 60%, reduced restores from hours to minutes using 1‑Click Restore and Veeam Explorer for Exchange, and enabled VM replication for disaster recovery. The result: faster, more reliable recovery that frontline support can perform, improved business continuity and an estimated 80% reduction in backup costs versus the legacy tool.
