Managed backup & DR · UAE since 2004
A bad day, made an inconvenience — not a catastrophe.
Hardware fails, people delete the wrong thing, and ransomware happens. Missan 365 runs FortGrid-powered backup with tested restores, ransomware-hardened copies and Microsoft 365 backup — so whatever the event, your data comes back and the business keeps moving.
What's included
Backup that is monitored, hardened and proven to restore.
Most backups fail quietly and are only discovered in a crisis. Missan 365 manages the whole chain — capture, harden, monitor and test — so recovery is something you have already confirmed, not something you find out about.
FortGrid-powered backup
Automated, monitored backup of your servers, endpoints and data on FortGrid — running quietly in the background, checked daily, and managed entirely by us.
Tested restores
A backup is only real if it restores. We test recovery regularly, so when you need your data back, it comes back — proven, not assumed.
Ransomware-hardened copies
Immutable, isolated backup copies that an attacker cannot reach, alter or encrypt — the clean copy that turns a ransomware demand into a non-event.
Microsoft 365 backup
Independent backup of Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams — because Microsoft’s default retention is far shorter than most businesses assume.
Disaster recovery
A documented recovery plan for the serious events — hardware failure, ransomware, site loss — so the path back to working is decided long before you need it.
DR testing
We rehearse recovery against your plan, not just trust it on paper — confirming your data and systems can actually be brought back within the time the business needs.
The Microsoft 365 gap
Microsoft keeps your service running. It does not keep your backup.
It is one of the most common — and most expensive — assumptions in business IT. Microsoft 365 replicates your data for availability, but its default retention is roughly 30 days. After that, deleted items are gone for good. A departing employee, an accidental deletion or a ransomware event can erase data permanently.
Independent FortGrid backup of Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams keeps your own recoverable copy, on a retention you control — closing a gap most organisations only discover the hard way.
See managed Microsoft 365Why the 30-day default isn’t enough
- Microsoft replicates for availability — it does not keep a long-term backup of your data
- The default recycle-bin retention is roughly 30 days, then deleted items are gone
- Accidental deletion, a departing employee, or ransomware can wipe data permanently
- Independent FortGrid backup keeps your own recoverable copy, on your own retention
When the bad day comes
The events that close businesses, made survivable.
Tested backup and a rehearsed recovery plan change the nature of a disaster — from an existential threat into a managed, recoverable interruption.
Ransomware
A clean, isolated copy sits beyond the attacker's reach. Instead of paying a ransom and hoping, you restore from a backup you have already tested.
Hardware failure
A failed server or drive is a swap and a restore, not a rebuild from memory. Your data is recovered to a known-good point and the business carries on.
Site loss
Fire, flood or a total outage at one location does not take your data with it. Off-site copies and a DR plan mean operations resume elsewhere.

Who it's for
For UAE organisations where lost data means lost business.
If a week of missing files, a wiped mailbox or an encrypted server would seriously hurt, managed backup and DR is not optional — it is the safety net under everything else.
Finance & regulated sectors
Organisations that must retain records and prove recoverability — with tested restores and documented retention to satisfy an auditor or regulator.
Multi-site groups
Consistent, monitored backup across every office and outlet — instead of hoping each location is being looked after.
Data-dependent businesses
Firms whose work lives in their files, systems and Microsoft 365 — where losing a day of data is losing real money and trust.
Anyone serious about ransomware
Businesses that understand backup is the last line of defence — and want it hardened, tested and managed, not left to a forgotten schedule.

Questions UAE leaders ask
Backup and disaster recovery, explained plainly.
Why isn’t Microsoft 365’s built-in retention enough?
Microsoft keeps your service highly available, but it is not a long-term backup of your data. Its default recycle-bin retention is roughly 30 days, after which deleted items are gone — and accidental deletion, a departing employee or ransomware can remove data permanently. Independent FortGrid backup of Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams keeps your own recoverable copy on a retention you control.
How is managed backup different from just copying files?
A manual copy is not monitored, not tested and rarely protected against ransomware. Managed backup on FortGrid is automated, checked daily, kept in ransomware-hardened copies an attacker cannot reach, and — crucially — restore-tested so it actually works when you need it. We manage the whole thing, so backup is never something quietly failing in the background.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is a recoverable copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and capability to get your whole operation working again after a serious event — hardware failure, ransomware or site loss. Backup is part of DR, but DR also covers the order, the targets and the steps to bring systems back. We provide both, and we test them.
Do you test that backups can actually be restored?
Yes. A backup that has never been restored is an assumption, not a safeguard. We test restores regularly and rehearse recovery against your DR plan, confirming your data and systems can be brought back within the time the business needs — so recovery is proven before a real incident, not discovered during one.
How does this protect us against ransomware?
Ransomware-hardened backup copies are immutable and isolated, so an attacker who encrypts your live systems cannot reach or corrupt the backup. Paired with the hardening in our managed cybersecurity service, it means a ransomware attack becomes a restore from a clean copy rather than a ransom payment and a gamble.
How quickly can we recover after a disaster?
Recovery time depends on the size of your environment and the recovery targets agreed in your DR plan — which is exactly why we define and test them in advance. Because your backups are tested and your plan is rehearsed, recovery follows a known path with known timings, rather than being worked out under pressure.
