Case Study: KJWW achieves 93% faster backups and zero monitoring with Veeam Backup & Replication

Worldwide Engineering Firm Increases Backup Speed by 93 Percent and Reduces Backup Monitoring Time to Zero

KJWW Engineering, a national consulting engineering firm supporting about 450 users across six U.S. offices and one in India, struggled with slow, unreliable backups in its VMware environment. The prior solution required custom scripts, frequent manual cleanup on ESX servers and up to 10 hours of weekly monitoring, undermining the IS team’s goal of safe, always-available data with minimal overhead.

KJWW replaced the legacy tool with Veeam Backup & Replication, gaining reliability, a 93% increase in backup speed (throughput rose from ~3–4 MB/s to 40–60 MB/s), and eliminating the need for backup monitoring. The firm also reduced required backup storage by roughly 60% through block-level deduplication, delivering faster restores, lower costs, and greater operational peace of mind.
