Case Study: Sandd (Dutch postal company) achieves 93% faster VM backups and 50% less storage with Veeam Backup Management Suite (Veeam)

Veeam Delivers Hyper-V Backup, Replication and Management to Postal Company

Sandd, a Dutch postal company based in Apeldoorn that operates a national delivery network, faced slow, file‑based VM protection and limited replication, monitoring and reporting for its hundreds of Hyper‑V virtual machines. Using Symantec Backup Exec, backups took up to 15 hours and engineers had to copy files manually to build test environments, with no centralized performance alerts or reporting.

Sandd implemented Veeam Backup Management Suite (Veeam Backup & Replication plus Veeam ONE) to enable image‑based backup, fast VM replication and real‑time monitoring. Backups are now 93% faster (one hour vs. 15), use 50% less storage, full VM recovery takes minutes via Instant VM Recovery, replication builds test VMs in minutes instead of hours, and Veeam ONE provides proactive alerts and reporting to optimize performance and capacity.
