Backup as a Service
LIMA’s Backup as a Service (BaaS) delivers a fully managed, continuously monitored backup function. Giving you, your board and your insurance company the assurance that you can restore data in the event of an incident.
Managed backups, from a tried and trusted provider
The challenge for in-house IT teams is having the time and resource to manage backups properly, day in, day out, alongside everything else. But if your backups aren’t good enough to restore your system in the event of an issue, then your time is being wasted.
BaaS from LIMA
LIMA’s BaaS is deliberately a little different from how most providers package backup. Most MSPs bundle the managed service and the storage together, which means they dictate where your data goes. LIMA decouples the two.
Our managed service covers the work: daily health checks, human intervention when backups fail, unlimited recoveries under contract, regular restore testing and reporting back to your stakeholders.
Your data can go wherever makes most sense for you: on-premise, in LIMA Cloud, in Azure, or a combination of all three following the 3-2-1 rule (three copies, across two locations, with one air-gapped). The storage cost is separate and billed based on consumption. The managed service is a fixed monthly fee.
Immutable backup
Immutable backup is available as an option – and one that’s increasingly recommended. If an attacker gets into your environment, they can potentially delete or tamper with your backup data before you know they’re there. Immutable backups use a write-once, read-many principle: once data is written, it cannot be deleted or altered ahead of its natural retention window. That gives you confidence that what you’re restoring is clean, unaltered data. Most cyber insurers now ask whether your backups are immutable. For most organisations, the answer should be yes.
The benefits
Managed service, your storage
LIMA handles the daily management, monitoring and recovery work. You choose where your backup data lives. No lock-in to a single storage destination.
Fixed, predictable pricing
The managed service element is a consistent monthly fee. Storage is billed on consumption. No surprises.
Unlimited recoveries under contract
If you need data recovered, we'll deal with it. There's no additional charge per recovery event under the managed service.
Immutable backup available
Write-once, read-many protection that prevents backup data from being tampered with or deleted, giving your cyber insurer and your board the confidence they're asking for.
Why choose LIMA for backup
LIMA has more than 28 years of backup and recovery experience. Every customer gets the same daily checks, the same restore testing and the same reporting – whether their data sits on-premise, in LIMA Cloud or in Azure. Consistent, managed, reliable.
