Manager Neil McDonald was in need of a new stopper following recent injuries sustained by Colin Doyle and Kyle Letheren.
He has now secured the services of Lyness, who has made over 50 appearances for Burton following his arrival from Kidderminster Harriers in 2011.
The 24-year-old is expected to make his debut against Doncaster Rovers at the weekend.
