Case Study: Covenco Recovery Services prevents disaster and ransom for UK housing association with Veeam

UK housing association avoids disaster and ransom with Veeam and Covenco

A housing association in the south of England that manages nearly 5,000 properties faced growing cyberthreats and found its legacy backup approach might not withstand an attack. With limited budgets common to nonprofit housing providers, the association engaged Covenco Recovery Services for a more resilient Backup as a Service/Disaster Recovery as a Service strategy before an incident occurred.

Covenco implemented Veeam Backup & Replication with Veeam Cloud Connect plus a tape‑out service to create air‑gapped, offsite copies and recycle‑bin protection; when ransomware struck the cloud repository, deleted backups were recovered and the association restored operations without paying ransom or disrupting residents. The solution enabled mastery of the 3‑2‑1‑1‑0 rule, reduced downtime risk, and paved the way for additional immutable backup protections.
