Disaster Recovery in Oman

Disaster recovery for Oman businesses

Backup answers whether you still have the data. Disaster recovery answers how long you are down — and that is a design decision, not something to work out on the day.

Recovery targets you can actually meet

Most organisations we meet in Oman have backups and no disaster recovery plan — which means they can eventually get the data back, but nobody can say how long the business would be stopped. We start from the number that matters: how long you can afford to be down, per system, and then build to it.

What a DR engagement covers

From target to rehearsal

Recovery targets, per system

Not every system deserves the same answer. We agree a recovery time and recovery point target for each one, because that is what determines the cost.

Replication and standby

Veeam replication keeps a warm standby of the workloads that cannot tolerate a restore window, with failover and clean failback both tested.

A copy that survives an attack

Ransomware is the most likely disaster you will face. An off-network retention tier and object-locked off-site copies mean the recovery point is still there afterwards.

Runbooks and rehearsal

A written recovery sequence — what comes up first, who does what, in what order — then an actual test, with the result documented and the gaps fixed.

Gaps we find

What usually goes wrong on the day

Backups exist, but nobody has ever timed a full recovery

No agreed recovery time target, so no way to say if the plan is adequate

The recovery plan depends on one person who may be unreachable

Systems would come back in the wrong order, so nothing usable works

The only backup copy is reachable from the network being attacked

The plan was written two infrastructure refreshes ago

Why plan DR with us

Rehearsed locally, documented properly

01

We test it, in Oman

DR testing is done with your team, on site where it needs to be, not signed off from a document review overseas.

02

Targets before technology

The recovery target drives the design. Starting from a product means paying for either too much resilience or too little.

03

Ransomware treated as the likely case

Fire and flood are rare. A network-wide compromise is not, so the plan assumes the attacker reached everything reachable.

04

One partner for the whole recovery

Servers, network, virtualisation, security and backup all come from us, so there is nobody to hand the problem to during an incident.

Questions we get asked

Disaster recovery in Oman, answered plainly

What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is a copy you can restore from. Disaster recovery is how quickly you can be operating again. You can have sound backups and still be down for three days, which is why we start from the recovery time target rather than from a product.
How often should DR be tested?
At least annually, and after any significant infrastructure change. An untested plan is a document, not a capability — and the failures we find in testing are almost always in sequence and dependencies rather than in the backups themselves.
Do we need a second site?
Not necessarily. Off-site copies to cloud storage cover the geographic risk without a second building. A second site is worth it when your recovery time target is short enough that restoring over a network link cannot meet it.
Can you help with sector compliance requirements?
We can align retention and recovery design to the requirements you are working to, and document it. We will not claim a control we have not implemented — if a requirement demands write-once storage specifically, we will say so and build for it.
Is DR planning a one-time piece of work?
The plan and the first rehearsal are a project. Keeping it current as the infrastructure changes, and re-testing on a schedule, is the optional ongoing part under GigaExtend or GigaManaged IT.

How long would your business be down?

If you cannot answer that per system, that is the gap. We will measure it with you, then build a recovery plan to the target you actually need.
