Case Study: Up Group achieves 33% storage savings and 27% faster full backups with Veeam Availability Suite

Up Group saves 33% capacity and cuts the time for full backups by 27% with Veeam

Up Group, a payments and vouchers company operating in 28 countries and serving 25.5 million users, is rapidly digitizing its offerings and needed stronger protection for growing volumes of mission‑critical and personal data across a hybrid cloud and hyperconverged environment. The primary challenge was to deliver fast, consistent backups and rapid recovery for roughly 700 virtual machines and multi‑tier applications to guard against hardware failure, ransomware and data loss.

By standardizing on Veeam Availability Suite to manage cross‑site backups across on‑premises storage, an external tape library and Azure, Up Group now performs service‑level, consistent backups and weekly recovery testing with Veeam DataLabs. The solution delivered a 33% reduction in repository storage and cut full backup time from 22 to 16 hours (about 27%), while enabling granular recoveries and greater confidence in protecting business‑critical data.
