Case Study: Metrovacesa achieves data-loss protection and regulatory compliance with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365

Metrovacesa Eliminates Risk of Data Loss in its Cloud environment with Veeam and Ensures Sectorial Regulations Compliance

Metrovacesa, a century-old leading Spanish real estate developer, faced a legal and operational challenge after a 2016 demerger and move to a cloud-based IT model centered on Office 365. Because emails and file attachments are critical evidence for compliance with industry regulations (including a 10-year construction insurance requirement) and Microsoft’s native retention is limited, the company needed granular, reliable backups and fast recovery to eliminate data-loss risk and meet legal obligations.

Metrovacesa deployed Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 as a managed service through SCC, protecting Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams and enabling PST migration, vendor-independent storage and local support. The solution covers 225 mailboxes (10 TB) with weekly full and multiple daily incrementals and a 7-year retention, delivers 1-hour RTO / 1-day RPO (6-hour MTPD), and has reduced deployment and management time by 60% and costs by 40% while ensuring high availability and regulatory compliance.
