Managed data backup
Your data protected.
Your backups untouchable.
Lumitiv handles every step — from installation and monitoring to offsite storage and reporting. You stay focused on your business while we make sure your data survives anything.
Fully managed
We handle everything, start to finish
No internal IT expertise required. We install, monitors, test, and report on your backups — and store them securely offsite. Your only job is to call us if you ever need a restore.
Step 01 - Install
We come to you
Hardware and software deployed on-site or provisioned in the cloud. Zero friction onboarding.
Step 02 - Monitor
24/7 job alerts
Every backup job is watched. Failed or missed jobs trigger our team before you notice anything.
Step 03 - Test
Regular restore checks
Backups are only as good as their restores. We validate recoverability on a scheduled basis.
Step 04 - Report
Monthly summaries
Clear reports showing backup health, storage usage, and any issues resolved.
Immutable offsite storage
Backups that not even we can tamper with.
The last line of defence in any ransomware attack isn't your firewall or your antivirus. It's a backup copy no one can touch.
Immutable backups
Write-once. Tamper-evident. Zero override.
Once written, your offsite backups are cryptographically sealed against modification or deletion for the retention period you define. No admin override. No master key. Not by Lumitiv, not by your team, and certainly not by an attacker who's compromised your network.
Blocked by immutability
Ransomware encryption
Insider deletion
Admin credential abuse
Accidental overwrites
Vendor-side access
Malware propagation
Zero-trust backup architecture
Lumitiv technicians cannot access, decrypt, or delete your backup data.
Deployment options
Everything worth protecting,
backed up automatically
Every business has different infrastructure. We design backup coverage around your environment — not around what's easiest for us.
Workstations & laptops
Local backup appliances that keep copies within your facility for fast, same-day restores. Ideal when speed matters most.
Servers & virtual machines
Full image-level backups of physical and virtual servers. Restore an entire server in minutes, not days — even to dissimilar hardware.
Microsoft 365
Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive — all backed up independently from Microsoft. Because Microsoft's retention policies are not a backup.
Databases
Application-aware backups of SQL Server, MySQL, and other databases — transaction-consistent so you restore to a clean, usable state every time.
Backup health monitoring
Every backup job is checked automatically. If anything fails — or looks unusual — we're alerted and investigating before you even know there's an issue.
Restore testing
Backups are only valuable if they actually restore. We run regular test restores so you have documented proof your backups work — before you need them.
Deployment options
On-premise, cloud, or both
Every business has different infrastructure. We design backup coverage around your environment — not around what's easiest for us.
On-premise backup
Local backup appliances that keep copies within your facility for fast, same-day restores. Ideal when speed matters most.

How it works
Invisible protection that's always on
Once set up, managed backup runs silently in the background. No staff training required. No manual steps.
We assess what needs protecting
We inventory your servers, workstations, cloud services, and critical data. You tell us your tolerance for downtime — we design a backup schedule around it.
Backups run automatically, off-hours
Scheduled backups run without interrupting your workday. Changed files are captured incrementally; full images are taken on a rolling schedule.
Data is encrypted and locked immutably
Every backup is encrypted in transit and at rest. Once written, it's immutably locked — no one can touch it until the retention period expires.
We monitor every job, every day
Our team checks backup job status daily. Failed or missed jobs get investigated immediately — not discovered during a crisis.
When you need a restore, we handle it
Whether it's a single deleted file or a full server recovery, our team manages the restore process from start to finish — and documents the outcome.
3-2-1
Three copies. Two media. One offsite.
The gold standard for backup architecture. We apply it by default — local copy for fast restores, secondary copy on-premise, and a third copy in a geographically separate data centre.
Insurance
Cyber insurance ready
Most insurers now require documented, tested backups with immutability and offsite copies. Our managed backup ticks every box — and we provide the documentation.
What's included
Everything managed, nothing to babysit
Once set up, managed backup runs silently in the background. No staff training required. No manual steps.
Automated scheduling
Backup schedules configured to your business hours — incremental throughout the day, full images overnight.
AES-256 encryption
All backup data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Encryption keys are yours — not shared with any third party, including Lumitiv.
Immutable, tamper-proof storage
Backups are written to WORM-compliant storage. Once locked, no account — including Lumitiv's — can alter or delete the data.
Granular file-level restore
Restore a single file, a folder, or an entire volume — whatever the situation calls for, without restoring the entire backup.
Bare-metal recovery
Restore a failed server to completely new hardware — same configuration, same data, without reinstalling the OS or applications.
Monthly backup reports
You receive a monthly report documenting backup job success rates, restore test results, and storage utilisation — no digging required.
Common mistake
Microsoft 365 is not a backup
Microsoft keeps your data available — but they won't restore it after accidental deletion, ransomware, or a disgruntled employee. Their retention windows are short, and they're not your recovery partner. You need an independent backup.
Who manages this?
Us. Completely. From initial setup to ongoing monitoring to performing restores — your team never has to think about backups. We alert you to issues and handle resolutions.
What if we're hit by ransomware?
Because your backups are immutable and offsite, ransomware cannot reach them. We isolate the affected systems, wipe them, and restore from a clean backup point. You don't pay. You don't negotiate. You just recover.
