Don’t find out your backups don’t work during a disaster.
Automated, offsite backups and a disaster recovery plan you’ve actually tested — so a server crash, ransomware attack, or human error doesn’t turn into a business-ending event.
A backup you’ve never tested restoring isn’t a backup plan — it’s a guess.
Managed IT services companies like LME implement backups as a coordinated system, not a single checkbox — automated, versioned backups of your servers and workstations, cloud backup for the Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data that Microsoft and Google don’t fully protect on their own, and documented recovery procedures for every core business tool you depend on. Instead of hoping a backup job silently succeeded, we monitor it, test it, and can tell you exactly how long recovery takes before you’re ever in a real disaster.
Automated, offsite backups
Your data is backed up on a schedule you don’t have to think about, replicated offsite so a fire, flood, or hardware failure at your office can’t take everything with it.
Tested recovery, not just backup
We periodically test actual restores — not just confirm a backup job “completed” — so you know it will work when you need it.
A real disaster recovery plan
Documented recovery time and recovery point targets, in plain language, that you’ve reviewed before you ever need them — not improvised at 2am during a ransomware event.
Coverage for the disasters that actually happen.
- Automated daily backups of servers, workstations, and cloud data
- Offsite / cloud replication
- Ransomware-resistant, versioned backups
- Documented recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO)
- Periodic test restores
- Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace backup (not just on-prem servers)
Every industry we serve, one bad day from data loss.
Real businesses, real relationships.

Common questions about backup & disaster recovery
An external drive is a single point of failure sitting in the same building as everything else you’re trying to protect. Our backups are automated, versioned, and replicated offsite, and we actually test that they restore.
Yes. Cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace don’t fully protect you from accidental deletion or ransomware on their own — we back up that data separately.
A backup is the data. A disaster recovery plan is the documented, tested process for actually getting your business back online — including how long it takes and what order systems come back up in.
Yes — that’s one of the most common things we’re asked to review. Start with a free 15-minute assessment and we’ll tell you honestly where you stand.
