Backup & Disaster Recovery

Protect everything your business has built — with automated backups, off-site replication, and a tested plan for when things go wrong.

When Did You Last Test Your Backup?

Most businesses discover their backup doesn't work when they actually need it

Ransomware, accidental deletion, hardware failure, natural disaster — every UAE business faces data loss risks, but most underestimate how quickly an untested backup strategy can fail in a real incident. Shiffera builds backup and disaster recovery solutions that are designed, tested, and maintained so that when something goes wrong, recovery is measured in minutes — not days.

We design your backup strategy around your actual RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) requirements — then implement, automate, and regularly test it. From single-server backups to multi-site enterprise DR environments, we cover the full spectrum.

What We Implement

A complete data protection framework — from backup to full disaster recovery

Automated Backups

Scheduled full and incremental backups for servers, databases, virtual machines, and cloud workloads — with configurable retention policies and compression.

Off-Site Replication

Geo-redundant backup copies stored in a secondary location or S3-compatible object storage — encrypted in transit and at rest, isolated from your primary environment.

Rapid Restore

RTO-oriented recovery workflows — one-click VM restore, bare-metal recovery, database point-in-time restore, and file-level recovery from any backup snapshot.

DR Runbooks

Documented and tested disaster recovery procedures — failover steps, escalation contacts, communication templates, and role assignments for every failure scenario.

DR Testing & Drills

Quarterly failover drills in isolated test environments — validating that your RTO and RPO targets are actually achievable before you need them in production.

Monitoring & Alerting

24/7 backup job monitoring with instant alerts for failures, missed schedules, and storage threshold warnings — before problems become incidents.

Our DR Process

From assessment to a fully tested, operational backup and DR programme

01

Risk Assessment

We identify your critical systems, data dependencies, acceptable RTO/RPO, regulatory obligations, and current backup gaps — producing a prioritised remediation plan.

02

DR Design

Architecture design for backup infrastructure, replication topology, failover sequences, and storage sizing — reviewed and approved before implementation begins.

03

Implementation

Backup agent deployment, replication setup, automation scheduling, runbook documentation, and initial test restore to verify everything works as designed.

04

Maintain & Test

Ongoing monitoring, quarterly DR drills, annual DR plan reviews, and rapid response if a backup job fails — so your protection stays current as your environment evolves.

Why Choose Shiffera for Backup & DR

What makes our data protection approach different

We Actually Test It

Most backup vendors never run a real restore test. We test your DR plan quarterly — so you know it works before you need it in a crisis.

RTO/RPO Commitments

We agree specific recovery time and recovery point objectives in writing — and design your DR environment to consistently meet them.

Immutable Backups

Ransomware-resistant backup copies using immutable storage — attackers cannot encrypt or delete backups that are isolated from your primary environment.

24/7 Incident Response

When something goes wrong, our team is available around the clock — with a tested playbook and the access needed to execute a recovery immediately.
