Case Study: Albert Smith Group achieves near-continuous data protection and instant recovery with Veeam Backup & Replication

Leading Signage Company Signs Veeam to Protect its Data Centre

Albert Smith Group, a fourth‑generation, Brisbane‑founded signage manufacturer established in 1873, needed fast, reliable data protection for its virtualised data centre with minimal hands‑on IT time. With only a small IT team and potential downtime costing up to $100,000 a day, the company required an affordable, easy‑to‑use backup and disaster‑recovery solution that delivered rapid backups, replication and restores.

Computer Merchants implemented Veeam Backup & Replication to back up VMs on site, replicate them to a separate DR site and copy backups to the remote repository. The solution delivers multiple restore points, instant VM and granular application recovery (RPOs/RTOs as short as five minutes), easy management and customised DR strategies—enabling fast recovery from incidents like CryptoLocker and giving the business reliable, near‑continuous protection.
