Case Study: TK Telekom strengthens disaster recovery with fast, reliable VM backup and replication from Veeam

Telecommunications Provider Strengthens DR with Veeam

TK Telekom, one of Poland’s largest telecommunications operators serving railways, government and business customers, needed to strengthen its disaster recovery after virtualizing about 40% of its infrastructure (roughly 100 Windows and Linux VMs). The IT team faced unreliable VM backups, slow granular recoveries and no easy way to replicate VMs to a second data center, putting business continuity at risk.

The company implemented Veeam Backup & Replication (recommended by partner Comtegra), gaining image-based backup and built‑in replication. Backups became five times faster with frequent incremental jobs and one‑third less disk usage thanks to deduplication; file-level restores were about ten times quicker, helping meet RTOs of 24 hours or less and improving RPOs. Near-continuous replication to the other data center minimizes data-loss risk and simplifies failover/failback.
