Overview
AL SAHRAA provides Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) services designed for UAE businesses that need practical, tested plans to protect data and maintain operations. We assess your infrastructure, define recovery objectives, and design a solution that fits your budget and compliance needs. Our approach combines automated backups, secure offsite replication, and documented recovery procedures. We support diverse environments including physical servers, virtual machines, databases, and cloud workloads, and integrate with existing IT systems and applications. We prioritize fast, verifiable recovery through regular testing, clear failover steps, and role-based runbooks. Our team works with stakeholders to train staff, validate RPO/RTO targets, and refine plans so the business can resume critical functions with minimal interruption. Services include backup architecture design, implementation, monitoring, encrypted storage, disaster recovery orchestration, and scheduled recovery drills. Solutions are scalable from SMEs to larger enterprises operating in Dubai, Ajman and other UAE emirates.

Frequently asked questions
What types of systems do you protect?
We protect physical servers, virtual machines, databases, file shares, and cloud workloads across major platforms; we adapt solutions to your technology stack.
How quickly can you restore services after an outage?
Restoration speed depends on defined RTOs and chosen architecture; we help set realistic RTO/RPO targets and design solutions to meet them without promising fixed times without assessment.
Do you provide offsite and encrypted backups?
Yes. We implement encrypted backups with secure offsite replication to protect data confidentiality and ensure recoverability in case of local disasters.
How often do you test disaster recovery plans?
We recommend scheduled DR tests at least annually, with more frequent component tests and post‑change validations; frequency is aligned to business risk and compliance needs.
Can you support regulatory and data residency requirements in the UAE?
Yes. We design backup and retention policies that align with UAE regulatory requirements and can implement local or regional storage to meet data residency needs.
