Case Study: EG Group achieves 90% faster backups and scalable data resilience with Veeam

Veeam powers the expansion of EG Group by increasing data resilience and reducing backup times by 90%

EG Group, a fast‑growing independent convenience retailer operating across Europe, Australia and the US, needed a scalable data protection strategy to support rapid site acquisitions and continuous data-driven decision making. As the business expanded, IT faced growing volumes of critical data, tighter continuity requirements and rising cyber risk, so the team sought a solution that would simplify onboarding, protect business apps and ensure always‑available access for users.

EG Group deployed the Veeam Data Platform and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to protect nearly 1 PB of data with no scaling or integration issues. Veeam enabled high‑speed, low‑risk migrations (including a Nutanix move with ~20‑minute outages), cut backup windows by more than 90% (from 24+ hours to as little as two hours), accelerated recoveries and supported estate consolidation and cost savings while maintaining business continuity.
