Impact Review
We identify critical systems and agree how long each can be down and how much data can be lost.
Business Continuity
Disaster Recovery for Dubai Businesses
When a server fails, ransomware hits or a site goes offline, recovery speed decides the cost. We design backup and disaster recovery around how long you can be down and how much data you can afford to lose.

- A plan your team can follow under pressure
- Restores proven by testing
- Less downtime and less panic when something fails
What a recovery plan covers
- Which systems are critical and in what order they come back.
- Where backups are stored and how they are accessed.
- Who is responsible for each step and how to reach them.
- How staff will work while systems are down.
- How the plan is tested and kept up to date.
Common recovery mistakes
- Backups stored only on the same network that ransomware can reach.
- No offsite copy, so fire, flood or theft takes everything.
- Backup jobs failing quietly with nobody checking.
- No written plan, so recovery depends on one person.
- Restores never tested until the day they are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup keeps copies of your data. Disaster recovery is the wider plan for getting systems running again, including who does what, in what order, and how long it takes.
How do you decide how much recovery capability we need?
We agree two targets with you: how long you can be offline, and how much recent data you can afford to lose. The design and cost follow from those.
Can backups protect us from ransomware?
Yes, if they are designed for it. That means offline or immutable copies that attackers cannot encrypt or delete, plus tested restores.
Do you test the recovery plan?
Yes. We run restore tests on a schedule and report the results, because an untested backup is only an assumption.
Does Microsoft 365 need separate backup?
Yes. Microsoft keeps the service running but does not replace a separate backup of your mailboxes and files.
