Workstation and Laptop Backup

Every device backed up. Office or remote.

Continuous cloud backup for all company workstations and laptops. Remote workers included. Files backed up as they change, not just overnight, so you never lose more than minutes of work.

What We Deliver

Workstation and laptop backup capabilities.

Continuous Backup Throughout the Day

Files are backed up as they change, not just overnight. If a laptop is lost at 3pm, you recover files from 2:55pm, not from last night.

Remote Worker Coverage

Backup agents work over any internet connection. Home workers, field staff, and travelling employees are all protected the same as office-based users.

Automatic Agent Deployment

Agents deployed silently via your existing device management tools. No user action required. Backup starts automatically once the agent is installed.

Bandwidth Throttling

Backup bandwidth is throttled during business hours to avoid impacting video calls and other bandwidth-sensitive applications. Full speed outside working hours.

Version History and Point-in-Time Recovery

Multiple versions of every file retained. Recover a document from any point in the last 30, 60, or 90 days. Useful for accidental overwrites and ransomware events.

Self-Service File Recovery Portal

Users can recover their own files from a web portal without raising a support ticket. Reduces helpdesk load and gets users back to work faster.

How It Works

From device inventory to every laptop protected.

01

Device Inventory and Scoping

We document all workstations and laptops in scope including remote workers. Storage estimates and retention periods agreed before deployment begins.

02

Agent Deployment

Backup agents deployed silently to all devices via your existing MDM or RMM tool. No user interaction required. Deployment tracked and confirmed for every device.

03

Backup Policy Configuration

Backup schedules, file exclusions, version retention, and bandwidth throttling configured. Policies applied consistently across all devices.

04

Initial Backup and Verification

First backup completed for every device. Backup size and file counts verified. Any devices that fail initial backup are investigated and resolved.

05

User Portal Setup

Self-service recovery portal configured for your users. Training provided so staff can recover their own files without contacting IT support.

06

Ongoing Monitoring and Reporting

Backup success rates monitored daily. Devices that miss backups are flagged and investigated. Monthly reports confirm all devices are protected.

UK Case Studies

Laptop backup results across the UK.

Recruitment Agency, Birmingham

Challenge: A Birmingham recruitment agency had 45 consultants working from home. Their previous backup solution only covered office-based machines, leaving remote workers completely unprotected.

Outcome: All 45 remote workers enrolled in cloud backup within 48 hours. Three months later, a consultant had their laptop stolen. All files recovered from cloud backup within 2 hours.

Architecture Practice, Bristol

Challenge: A Bristol architecture firm had a designer accidentally overwrite 3 weeks of project files on their laptop. Their overnight backup only retained one version, so the overwritten files were gone.

Outcome: IP Four deployed continuous backup with 90-day version history. The designer recovered the correct file version from 4 days earlier. No project delay, no data loss.

Accountancy Firm, Glasgow

Challenge: A Glasgow accountancy firm needed to demonstrate to their ICAEW practice review that all client data on staff laptops was backed up and recoverable. They had no evidence of laptop backup.

Outcome: Cloud backup deployed to all 22 staff laptops. Monthly backup reports provided as evidence for the practice review. Review passed with no findings against data protection.
