Case Study: Malta Information Technology Agency achieves 75% faster backups and always-on government services with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Supports Malta’s Digital Strategy

The Malta Information Technology Agency (MITA) is the government IT arm driving the country’s Digital Malta strategy, supporting 15 ministries, about 30,000 users and services used by 437,000 citizens. Charged with keeping critical public services—healthcare, revenue, pensions and more—always available, MITA faced slow, cumbersome tape-based backups for roughly 100 TB of data that risked service interruptions and long restore times.

MITA implemented Veeam Backup & Replication to modernize backups and recovery; the new solution cut backup windows by 75% (from 24 to 6 hours), simplified restores, freed IT staff for mission‑critical work, and delivered secure, scalable data availability—improving service delivery, reducing costs, and giving the agency greater peace of mind.
