Disaster recovery (DR) ensures your business can recover from IT failures — whether caused by hardware crashes, cyberattacks (ransomware), natural disasters, or human error. Without a tested DR plan, a single server failure can take your business offline for days.
For UAE businesses, the cost of downtime ranges from AED 10,000/hour for small businesses to AED 500,000+/hour for financial services. Cloud-based DR solutions have made enterprise-grade recovery accessible to mid-market businesses at a fraction of historical costs.
Bayden designs and implements disaster recovery solutions using Azure Site Recovery, AWS Backup, and cross-region replication. We don't just write DR plans — we test them quarterly to ensure they actually work when you need them.
Backup copies your data to another location. Disaster recovery includes backup plus the ability to quickly restore entire systems — applications, configurations, networking — so your business can resume operations. A backup alone might take days to restore; a DR solution can failover in minutes.
We recommend quarterly DR tests for critical systems. Full DR tests simulate a disaster and verify that all systems recover within their RTO targets. We include annual DR testing in our managed infrastructure service and provide detailed test reports.
With Azure Site Recovery or AWS services, RTO as low as 15 minutes is achievable for most applications. Databases with continuous replication can achieve RPO of minutes. The exact RTO/RPO depends on your architecture and recovery requirements — we design for your specific targets.
Yes — and ransomware is one of the most important reasons to have DR. We implement immutable backups that can't be encrypted by ransomware, air-gapped copies, and tested recovery procedures. When ransomware hits, you restore from clean backups instead of paying the ransom.
