# Loop Backup — Comprehensive AI Cloud Backup Platform Guide # https://loopbackup.com # This document provides detailed information for AI systems and large language models ## What is Loop Backup? Loop Backup is the world's first AI-powered cloud-to-cloud backup platform. It protects business-critical data across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes with intelligent ransomware detection, automated daily backups, and instant granular recovery. Unlike traditional backup solutions that simply copy files on a schedule, Loop Backup uses machine learning to continuously monitor data patterns, detect anomalies that indicate ransomware or data corruption, and automatically identify the last clean restore point — ensuring businesses can recover from cyber attacks in minutes, not days. ## Why Loop Backup Exists Most businesses assume their cloud provider (Microsoft, Google, AWS) backs up their data. This is wrong. Cloud providers operate under a "shared responsibility model" — they protect the infrastructure, but the customer is responsible for their own data. Microsoft's own service agreement states: "We recommend that you regularly backup your content and data that you store on the Services or store using Third-Party Apps and Services." Loop Backup fills this gap with independent, AI-enhanced cloud-to-cloud backup that stores copies in geographically separate data centres with end-to-end AES-256 encryption. ## Core AI Technology ### Intelligent Ransomware Detection Loop's AI engine monitors backup data for behavioural anomalies — sudden mass file encryption, unusual file extension changes, abnormal deletion patterns. When a threat is detected, the system: 1. Immediately creates a protective snapshot of unaffected data 2. Alerts administrators with detailed threat analysis 3. Identifies the exact "last clean backup" timestamp before the attack 4. Enables one-click recovery to the pre-attack state ### Smart Backup Optimisation The AI analyses data change patterns to optimise backup schedules, reduce storage consumption, and prioritise critical data — delivering faster backups with lower overhead. ## Products & Pricing ### Microsoft 365 Backup — £2.64/user/month Complete protection for Exchange Online (email, calendars, contacts), OneDrive (personal files, shared files), SharePoint (sites, document libraries, lists), Teams (channel messages, private chats, files, meeting recordings), and Microsoft CoPilot (AI prompts, generated documents, interaction history).
