Cloud Backup
Lancom’s Cloud Backup provides robust, secure data protection hosted in our high-redundancy data centers. Using advanced encryption protocols, both in transit and at rest, we guarantee data privacy and full compliance with industry standards and regulations such as GDPR, DORA and NIS2. Built on enterprise-grade hardware and scalable storage architectures, our service supports incremental and full backups, tailored retention policies and automated scheduling to meet your business requirements.
Backups are replicated across geographically separated nodes within hardened repositories, ensuring immutability, redundancy and rapid data access for swift recovery. With native integration for multiple operating systems and platforms, the service enables both image-level and file-level backups, plus application-aware processing for critical databases such as MSSQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle.
Comprehensive monitoring and real-time alerting provide proactive oversight, while our secure infrastructure ensures immediate recovery in case of data loss or system failure, minimizing downtime and preserving business continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lancom Cloud Backup is a fully managed data protection service designed to securely back up and restore critical business data, applications and systems. Backup copies are hosted within Lancom’s high-redundancy data center infrastructure, removing the need for businesses to deploy and maintain their own dedicated backup hardware.
The service supports automated backup scheduling, incremental and full backups, customized retention policies and multiple recovery methods. It can protect physical servers, virtual machines, operating systems and business-critical databases, helping organizations reduce the operational impact of data loss, system failure, accidental deletion or other disruptive incidents.
These safeguards support data protection and compliance requirements associated with frameworks and regulations such as GDPR, DORA and NIS2.
Backup data are encrypted both while being transferred to Lancom’s infrastructure and while stored within the backup platform. This end-to-end approach helps prevent unauthorized access and supports the protection of sensitive business information throughout the entire backup lifecycle.
Backup copies are stored in hardened, immutable repositories, meaning that retained backup data cannot be modified or deleted through normal operations. Data are also replicated across geographically separated nodes to provide additional resilience against hardware failures, localized infrastructure incidents and other single points of failure.
Lancom Cloud Backup supports a broad range of physical and virtual IT environments. This includes Windows and Linux operating systems, physical servers and virtualized infrastructure based on platforms such as VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V and KVM.
The service also provides application-aware backup for business-critical databases, including Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL and Oracle. Application-aware processing helps ensure that data are captured in a consistent state, reducing the risk of incomplete or corrupted database recovery.
Depending on the environment, backups can be performed at file, image or full-system level, allowing the protection strategy to be aligned with the importance and recovery requirements of each workload.
A full backup creates a complete copy of all selected data within a system or workload. It provides a comprehensive recovery point, but usually requires more storage capacity and takes longer to complete.
An incremental backup stores only the data that have changed since the previous backup. This reduces the amount of information transferred and stored during each backup cycle, allowing backup jobs to complete more efficiently and consume fewer resources.
A backup strategy will commonly combine periodic full backups with more frequent incremental backups. The appropriate schedule depends on factors such as how frequently business data change, the required recovery point, available bandwidth, storage requirements and regulatory obligations.
Recovery time depends on the type of incident, the amount of data involved, the affected infrastructure and the selected recovery method. Lancom Cloud Backup supports file-level recovery for individual files or folders, image-level recovery for complete workloads and full-system recovery when an entire server or environment must be restored.
This flexibility allows businesses to use the most appropriate recovery process for each incident. For example, an accidentally deleted document may require only a targeted file restoration, while a failed server may require complete system recovery.
Continuous monitoring, real-time alerts and 24/7 technical support also help identify backup issues early and enable recovery operations to begin promptly, reducing downtime and supporting business continuity.
Yes. Backup retention policies can be configured according to the operational, technical and compliance requirements of each organization.
Businesses can determine how frequently backups are performed, which systems or applications are protected and how long each recovery point is retained. Different policies can also be applied to different types of data. For example, critical databases may require more frequent backups and longer retention periods than less sensitive files.
Customized retention helps businesses balance recovery requirements, regulatory obligations and storage efficiency while maintaining access to the historical backup versions they need.
