Data Backup & Data Recovery

What would happen to your business if your data disappeared tomorrow?

Most UK businesses assume their data is backed up — few have actually tested it. We design, implement and verify recovery solutions so that when the worst happens, you are back up and running in hours, not weeks.

Resilience you can prove

A single data loss incident isn't just an IT issue — it's a business crisis. LANIX helps organisations across the UK move past hope-based backups to a verified, tested recovery strategy. We identify what data matters most, protect it with ransomware-resilient copies, and make sure your team knows exactly what to do when something goes wrong — no jargon, no guesswork.

LANIX makes sure your data comes back — quickly and completely.

Stop guessing if you can actually recover

We run realistic restore tests against your real systems so you know your backups work before a crisis forces the question. No more crossed fingers.

Built to survive ransomware

Immutable, off-site copies of your data stay clean even when your primary network is compromised — giving you a guaranteed restore point attackers cannot reach.

Back to work in hours, not days

Documented recovery runbooks and clear staff responsibilities slash downtime. When an incident hits, your team knows exactly what to do instead of scrambling.

What changes for your business

Once the work is done, you can answer your board, your insurer and your clients with total confidence — your data is protected, tested and recoverable.

A verified recovery baseline you can actually stand behind — not just a backup that has never been tested.

Minimal downtime, protecting your revenue and your client relationships when the unexpected happens.

Clear, jargon-free recovery steps your staff can follow without needing the IT team on speed dial.

Audit-ready documentation for data retention, resilience standards and cyber insurance requirements.

What clients say about their LANIX backup & recovery

Businesses across the UK trust us to get their data back quickly and completely — because we test the restores rather than just the backups.

“We lost a whole finance folder on a Friday afternoon and had it back before close of play. No drama, no lost work.”

Finance Director, Aldermoor Care
“The difference is that they actually test the restores every month. We know it works because we have watched it work.”

Sanjay Bhatt
Operations Manager, Trelawney Foods
“Ransomware took out a server and we were trading again the next morning from clean backups. That is the only test that matters.”

FAQs

Yes. We design solutions that combine cloud and on-prem components where that makes sense for performance and resilience.

We recommend scheduled tests at least quarterly for critical systems, plus ad-hoc tests after major changes.

We can often integrate with your current backup software or design a transition plan if a change is needed.

We keep user-facing changes minimal and provide simple instructions for anyone involved in recovery procedures.

Yes. Cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace are responsible for keeping their services running — they are not responsible for recovering your data if it is accidentally deleted, corrupted, or encrypted by ransomware. Independent backups are the only way to guarantee you can restore what you need, when you need it.

A backup is a copy of your data. A disaster recovery plan is the complete set of steps, tools and responsibilities needed to get your business back to full operation after an incident. Both are essential — a backup without a recovery plan often means days of downtime while people figure out what to do next.

An immutable backup cannot be changed, deleted or encrypted — even by an administrator — for a set period. It is your insurance policy against ransomware, which frequently targets and deletes standard backups before encrypting your live data. Without immutable copies, even a comprehensive backup solution can be wiped out in an attack.

Without a tested, documented recovery strategy, businesses commonly experience one to three weeks of significant disruption — and many never fully recover their data. With a properly designed and tested plan, LANIX clients typically restore critical systems within hours to a couple of business days depending on the scale of the incident.

Yes. We design backup and retention policies to align with UK GDPR requirements, including data minimisation, storage security and the right to erasure. We also produce the documentation you need for ICO accountability obligations and cyber insurance evidence requests.

Yes. We are London-based but support businesses across the UK — remotely for the majority of backup configuration and management work, and on-site where physical infrastructure requires it. Our clients include organisations across the South East, the Midlands and further afield.
