Business Continuity & Backup Services

Have you considered whether your business would be able to operate if something happened to your files or servers? It could be a natural disaster, a cyber-attack, or human error, no matter how it happens, would you be able to carry on operating as normal?  What is your Business Continuity and back up plan?

Could your business recover?

LP Networks always recommend that our clients use our Managed Cloud Backup Service to ensure that all their important data and documents are safe. In the same way you insure your business against any eventuality, having online backups provides you with the peace of mind that should the unthinkable happen, you and your team can be back working in no time.

Our backup service uses fully compliant (SSAE or ISO) datacentres and end-to-end encryption, maintaining the highest levels of security available.

Protection against accidental data loss and cyber-crime, particularly with the rising prevalence of Malware including CRYPTOviruses Phishing, Man-in-the-Middle as well as hacking, is vital to ensure business continuity.

Business Continuity & Backup Services FAQs

What is Business Continuity?

Business continuity refers to the processes and systems that keep your organisation operating during and after a disruption. This includes having secure backups, disaster recovery plans, and the right infrastructure to minimise downtime and data loss.

Why are backups important for my business?

Backups protect your organisation from data loss caused by hardware failure, cyber-attacks, human error, natural disasters, and other unexpected events. Reliable backups ensure that your business can recover quickly and continue operating with minimal disruption.

How often should my data be backed up?

Backup frequency depends on how quickly your data changes. Many businesses use daily or hourly backups, while others require continuous protection. Our Managed IT Service Provider team can recommend a backup schedule based on your needs.

Are cloud backups secure?

Yes. Our cloud backup solutions use fully compliant datacentres, encryption, and secure transfer protocols to protect your information. Combined with our Cyber Security services, this offers strong protection against threats such as ransomware and phishing.

What is the difference between a backup and disaster recovery?

A backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the process of restoring systems and returning to normal operation after an outage or incident. Effective continuity planning includes both reliable backups and a clear recovery strategy.

Can LP Networks help us restore data if something goes wrong?

Yes. We perform routine test restores and provide full recovery support when needed. For businesses that require rapid restoration, our Disaster Recovery services offer faster, more resilient recovery options.

How does monitoring support my backup strategy?

Our monitoring platform checks backup results daily, flags any issues, and verifies the success of image-based server backups. This ensures that your backups are working correctly and ready for recovery.

Can business continuity planning help reduce downtime?

Absolutely. By combining strong backup processes with proactive planning, businesses can dramatically reduce downtime after an incident. Our IT Consultancy services can help create and maintain a continuity plan tailored to your operations.
