The Challenge
Veidekke ASA was an early adopter of Office 365, moving to the enterprise collaboration platform in 2013. This has created a secure, common collaboration environment for their employees.
In 2017, new data retention requirements prompted the company’s IT management to evaluate supplementing Office 365’s out-of-the-box backup capabilities.
Specifically, Veidekke ASA needed to retain about 10 TB of backup data for OneDrive, SharePoint and Office 365 Groups longer than 30 days. The company also needed to quickly restore granular data such as lists, libraries, folders, documents, document versions, mail boxes and calendars.
“With Office 365 native capabilities, we could get a site collection back within a day or two by logging a service request, but it wasn’t possible to restore at a more granular level,” said Jonas Schimmele, IT Manger, Veidekke ASA. “With AvePoint Cloud Backup we can restore at all levels in minutes.”
After testing multiple solutions, AvePoint Cloud Backup was determined to be the most complete cloud to cloud backup solution and the only one meeting Veidekke ASA’s requirements.
