GoLive Back-Up: recovery you can count on

GoLive Back-Up keeps protected copies of your district’s data that ransomware cannot encrypt or delete, so if the worst happens, you can restore what you need and get back to teaching without paying a ransom. It is backup built for recovery, not just storage, and it is part of the Data Defense stack.

What GoLive Back-Up protects

GoLive Back-Up protects the data your district cannot afford to lose, from student and staff records to the systems that run day to day. The copies are kept protected and separated, so ransomware cannot reach them the way it reaches your live systems. When 77% of K-12 institutions that recovered from ransomware in 2026 did it using backups (Source: Sophos, 2026), having backups that actually survive an attack is what recovery depends on.

How recovery works

If data is ever lost or encrypted, recovery means restoring from those protected copies rather than negotiating with an attacker. Because the backups are kept safe from ransomware, you have a real path back to normal, and because backup is tied into the rest of Data Defense, recovery is part of a plan rather than a scramble.

Local accountability behind your backups

Your backups are handled by our own team, not handed off to a distant third party. That local accountability, run from our Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin base, means a real team stands behind your recovery and supports a fast restore when you need it. We serve districts nationally; the accountability is what we bring to every one of them.
