Cloud data backups made easy

Fast, secure backup and restore with transparent pricing – what’s not to like?

Sponsored Post Every organization needs to back up their data on a regular basis or face the consequences if the original copies get lost, corrupted or stolen.

Managing the volumes and infrastructure can be a complex and expensive process though, which is why Lightsafe has built an easy-to-use, cost-effective service designed to do the legwork for you.

Lightsafe's Cloud Management Platform stores customer backups in a choice of locations, operated exclusively by its NASDAQ-listed storage partner, Backblaze. That gives customers the option of scaling up their backups from gigabytes to terabytes on demand, very useful for businesses and managed service providers (MSPs) which need to quickly expand their operations as data volumes grow.

Simple provisioning via the online Lightsafe Platform allows you to create profiles for individual systems. There are also options to configure profiles based on customized schedules and retention periods, allowing you to include specific files and folders, virtual machines (VMs), SQL Server Databases, Exchange Mail Servers and more that need to be backed up regularly. The agent is easily deployed via scripting which allows larger organizations to integrate the application within their system or inventory management solutions.

All of Lightsafe's software is free to download and install, and you only pay one simple, monthly fee for the data you've stored – all at much lower rates than the likes of Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud calculates Lightsafe. This low-cost, transparent pricing mechanism is partly enabled by compression algorithms to speed up backup/restore, remove software charges and bill the customer only for the cost of storage. Integrated 'self healing' technology allows the agent to constantly check data integrity and resolve any problems that arise.

Sensitive information stored using Lightsafe is protected from the ravages of ransomware and other cyber threats designed to cause disruption and fraud. All of the data stored is AES-256 (military grade) encrypted using the latest ciphers, with the key controlled and stored by the client (even Lightsafe can't access it). That means immutable storage of data in compliance with preselected retention periods which meet the legal requirements of your immediate jurisdiction, whether the East or West coast of the US, the UK or the European Union.

Secure, structured backup processes also help organizations meet their regulatory compliance requirements head-on. A disaster recovery plan can help clients navigate the world of GDPR, Cyber Essentials, ISO 27000 series and other security and compliance frameworks, for example.
