Case Study: Koelner Rawlplug achieves 99% faster backups and 3x lower TCO with Veeam Backup & Replication

Rawlplug keeps manufacturing lines running by slashing backup times by 99% with Veeam

Rawlplug, a Poland‑headquartered manufacturer and wholesaler of specialized fixings, fasteners and tools (over 40,000 items, 1,800+ employees), needed uninterrupted availability for mission‑critical systems like sales, finance and its e‑learning platform as the business grew. Its previous mix of backup tools was expensive, complex and slow—some restores could take up to a week—putting manufacturing continuity, training access and revenue at risk.

By consolidating onto Veeam Backup & Replication, Rawlplug now performs daily full‑environment backups with easy SAP HANA protection and verified VM restores; backup times dropped to about 1.5 hours (up to a 99% reduction), success rates rose to 100%, and total cost of ownership is roughly one‑third of comparable solutions—resulting in faster disaster recovery, lower costs and reduced operational hiring needs.
