Case Study: ABN AMRO Group achieves speedy backups and minimal downtime with Veeam Backup & Replication (Veeam)

Private Bank Relies on Veeam Backup & Replication for Speedy Backups and Minimal Downtime

ABN AMRO (Guernsey) Limited, a private bank providing wealth management services, faced lengthy, disruptive VMware backups that ran into the next day, flooded the network, required manual intervention and overtime, and lacked reliable replication and fast file-level restores. The ICT team sought a faster, more configurable solution to protect client-facing systems and improve business continuity.

Recarta IT recommended and trialed Veeam Backup & Replication, which cut the backup window from an entire weekend to just a few hours, enabled nightly backups without operational impact, eliminated overtime, and provided built‑in VM replication for quick failover. File-level restores dropped from up to 24 hours to under 30 minutes, increasing system availability, improving cross-site replication, and strengthening the bank’s business continuity.
