Backup, DR & cloud continuity — UAE
A backup is only useful if the business can recover quickly.

Restore confidence
Backup software is not the same as recovery confidence.
Many organisations have backup software but no clear recovery confidence. Missan reviews what is protected, what is missing, how fast each system can be restored — and whether recovery still works after ransomware, hardware failure, accidental deletion or cloud account compromise.
What management gets
- Clear visibility of protected versus exposed systems
- Recovery priorities by department and system
- An action plan for ransomware-ready backup resilience
- Ongoing alignment with IT support, cybersecurity and cloud
Common risks we find
- Backups exist, but no recent restore test has been completed
- Microsoft 365 files and mailboxes assumed fully recoverable
- RTO and RPO targets never agreed with management
- Backup storage reachable by compromised admin accounts
Any one of these can turn a recoverable incident into a continuity crisis.
Business continuity
How Missan builds restore confidence.
Assess what exists, design how recovery actually happens, and give every critical system a continuity path — on-premises, hybrid or cloud.
Backup assessment
Backup coverage, retention, job failures, protected workloads, storage risk — and the gaps that could leave the business exposed.
Recovery design
Practical RTO and RPO targets, recovery order, failover options and restore responsibilities for critical departments.
Cloud continuity
Cloud, hybrid and Microsoft 365 continuity — including FortGrid cloud backup — so email, files and business systems always have a recovery path.

Backup & disaster recovery — questions
What leadership teams ask us most.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is having a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is having a tested plan to actually restore it quickly — with agreed RTO (how fast) and RPO (how much data loss is acceptable) targets. Many organisations have backup software but no recovery confidence.
What are the most common backup risks Missan finds?
Backups that exist but have never had a recent restore test, Microsoft 365 files and mailboxes wrongly assumed to be fully recoverable, RTO/RPO targets never agreed with management, and backup storage reachable by compromised admin accounts.
Does Missan protect Microsoft 365 data?
Yes — Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams are reviewed and backed up where native Microsoft retention is not enough, alongside servers, virtual machines, endpoints and critical shared folders.
How does Missan approach ransomware-ready backup?
An immutable backup strategy, access separation, restore isolation and recovery drills — built for ransomware resilience and aligned with security from the start, not bolted on after an incident.
What does the free backup review include?
A review of backup coverage and job failures, a restore-readiness and ransomware resilience check, a cloud and Microsoft 365 continuity review, and a management summary with priority actions.
