CPCC's Managed Backup Service includes Assessment, Configuration, Restoration, Monitoring, Management, Security, and Compliance by backup management experts.
Backups are the backbone of any company's resilience and continuity. They are the fail-safe mechanism that safeguards your vital data from unforeseen disasters, cyber threats, and operational hiccups. Imagine a scenario where critical information, client records, and essential documents are suddenly lost – it's a nightmare you can't afford.
Connecting Point Computer Center’s Managed Backup Service provides a comprehensive solution to ensure the protection and availability of your organization's data. Our service relieves your organization from the burden of managing backup processes daily to ensure your data is available when disaster strikes.
Connecting Point’s Managed Backup Service includes:
- Data Assessment: CPCC identifies your critical data locations, storage requirements, and backup frequency needs. This evaluation helps create a backup strategy tailored to your organization's specific requirements.
- Backup Infrastructure: CPCC sets up and maintains the backup infrastructure, which includes dedicated backup storage systems located at your business for quick restoration. We also maintain and manage offsite hardware at our 2 data centers (Peru and Princeton) to provide redundant disaster recovery service.
- Backup Configuration: Based on the data assessment, CPCC configures the backup software to schedule and automate data backup processes. This includes defining backup policies, retention periods, and any specific requirements for diverse types of data.
- Data Backup: Our Managed Backup Service continuously or periodically copies the organization's data from primary storage systems to the backup infrastructure. This process is performed at a file, folder, or system level, depending on the organization's needs. Incremental backups, which capture only the changes since the last backup, are used to optimize storage and network resources.
- Data Restoration: In case of data loss or corruption, our Managed Backup Service enables the restoration of the backed-up data to its original or an alternate location. This process involves retrieving the necessary backup files from the backup infrastructure and ensuring data integrity during the restoration process.
- Monitoring and Management: Connecting Point continuously monitors the backup operations, ensuring that backups are completed successfully and within the defined parameters. We also proactively address any issues or failures that may arise during the backup process, minimizing downtime and data loss risks. Any failures with our Managed Backup Service are corrected at no charge to our customers as this is covered by our service.
- Security and Compliance: CPCC’s Managed Backup Service prioritizes data security. Encryption techniques, access controls, and secure transmission protocols are employed to protect data during transit and at rest. The service provider may also assist with compliance requirements, such as data retention policies and audit trails.
By allowing Connecting Point Computer Center to manage your backup services, your business will benefit from offloading the complexities of backup management to the experts. This allows you to focus on your core business operations while ensuring the safety, availability, and recoverability of your critical data.

Connecting Point Computer Center is the business office for whom?
Sometime in 1974 a LCCA (Lionel Collectors Club of America) member by the name of Jim Hunt stopped at our office, R/D Computer Sales and Services, LTD. in LaSalle IL and asked if we could print labels. He had about 400 names that needed to be printed on pressure sensitive labels for a mailing he was doing for a relatively new model train collectors club. This is how our partnership with LCCA began.
Many things have changed for both R/D Computers and LCCA over the last 50+ years. We moved to our current location in downtown Peru and changed our store name to Connecting Point Computer Center. LCCA has gone from 83 charter members in 1971 to 8,685 members worldwide.
Our staff takes great pride in making sure everything we do is for the benefit of the club. From finding cost savings by negotiating with FedEx for better shipping rates to helping spread the word about upcoming events by sending out email “Blasts” to the membership, LCCA’s business office staff and LCCA officers are able to make things happen.
The LCCA Business Office Staff
 Many LCCA members have met or spoken with Cathy Rios over the years. Cathy has been the main liaison between LCCA and Connecting Point for over 30 years. She is responsible for many of the club’s core processes including membership, order processing, voting, show registrations, pick/pack/ship inventory and much more. She has also attended countless LCCA conventions to help make sure everything runs smoothly from the business office’s perspective and members are correctly registered to enjoy the convention. |
 Peggy Marini works with LCCA’s financials to make sure the bank information is balanced and correct. She works with LCCA’s Treasurer to make sure all documentation and banking processes are being efficiently handled and adhere to Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP). |
 Sue Grady assists with marketing and web support. Designing and sending out LCCA email “Blasts” and making sure the membership is receiving information about upcoming events is just one function performed. Sue also updates LCCA’s special events and calendar to keep information online relevant. |
Listed are just a few tasks each of the LCCA business office staff performs on a daily/weekly basis to make sure the club runs as smooth as possible.
LCCA is the Best Toy Train Club on the Planet and a big part of our culture here at Connecting Point Computer Center. If you would like more information on becoming a member of LCCA please call us at 815-223-0115 or by email at .
