Cloud backup is the off-site tier of the 3-2-1 backup rule - three copies of your data, on two different media, with one copy off-site. For a Dubai SMB or creative studio, that off-site copy almost always lives in object storage with one of the major cloud providers, and at Azizi Technologies LLC we set up cloud backup for around 200 to 250 Dubai businesses every year across DIFC, DMCC, Dubai Media City, JLT, Business Bay, JAFZA, Studio City, Tecom, Bur Dubai and Al Quoz. Cloud backup setup starts at AED 400 at Azizi Technologies and the price reflects the engineering work involved, not the storage itself - storage you pay direct to the provider on metered usage. The four cloud backup destinations we deploy most often in 2026 are Backblaze B2 (still the cheapest credible enterprise object storage in the market at roughly AED 0.20 per GB per month at 2026 pricing, with free egress up to 3x stored capacity per month which makes restore costs very predictable), AWS S3 (the deepest feature set, with Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive tiers at AED 0.04 to AED 0.015 per GB per month for clients who genuinely want cold archival storage at sub-Backblaze pricing, accepting longer restore times), Microsoft Azure Blob Storage (the natural choice for clients already on Microsoft 365 and Azure AD, with hot, cool and archive tiers and tight integration with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365), and Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage (a Backblaze competitor at similar AED-per-GB pricing with free egress, useful when Backblaze regional capacity is constrained). Google Cloud Storage and IBM Cloud Object Storage we deploy less frequently but they remain credible options. For Microsoft 365 backup specifically (and this is non-negotiable for any Dubai business running on M365 - Microsoft does not back up your mailboxes, SharePoint sites, OneDrive accounts or Teams chats beyond their short retention windows, and ransomware events can absolutely destroy data Microsoft will not restore), we deploy three platforms depending on client scale and budget. Datto SaaS Protection is our preferred mid-market choice at roughly AED 25 to AED 40 per user per month all-in, with backup of Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams and Public Folders, 3x daily snapshots and unlimited retention. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is the enterprise choice when clients want self-hosted backup landing in their own Azure subscription or on their own NAS - one-off licence cost plus storage. AvePoint Cloud Backup we deploy for clients heavy on SharePoint and Teams collaboration. Google Workspace backup is similarly available through SpinBackup, Backupify, Spanning Backup and others, deployed less often because Google Workspace adoption in Dubai SMBs is lower than M365. Hybrid NAS plus cloud strategy is our default recommendation for any business with more than AED 50,000 of revenue at stake from a data loss event.
The architecture: on-site Synology or QNAP NAS holds the primary working copies of your data (fast restores, Time Machine destinations, file shares, snapshots), and the NAS replicates every night to either a second NAS at a different physical site (Concord Tower to IT Center Building, for example, or your office to a partner office or to a colocation rack) and to cloud cold storage as the third copy. This delivers the 3-2-1 rule out of the box, gives you a local NAS for fast restores of yesterday's accidentally-deleted file, gives you a second NAS for protection against a fire or flood or theft at your primary office, and gives you cloud cold storage as the ransomware-proof immutable last line of defence. For clients in DIFC and DHCC subject to data sovereignty requirements (UAE PDPL, DIFC Data Protection Law, DHCC patient-data retention rules), we deploy AWS Middle East (UAE) or Azure UAE Central / UAE North regions so backup data physically stays in-country - this is a hard requirement for healthcare clients and increasingly a soft requirement for legal and financial clients post-2024 PDPL enforcement. Setup at AED 400 covers cloud account provisioning if you don't have one, IAM and security configuration (least-privilege keys, MFA on root, immutable buckets with Object Lock enabled to defeat ransomware), backup software installation and configuration on your source systems (Synology Hyper Backup, QNAP HBS 3, Veeam, Datto, Acronis, or rclone for command-line workflows), initial seed backup orchestration (we can ship a USB drive to Backblaze or AWS Snowball for terabyte-scale initial seeds rather than waiting weeks for upload), nightly schedule, monitoring with email and SMS alerts on backup failure, monthly test restore documented in writing, and a printed handover document. Ongoing cloud storage costs depend entirely on your data volume - typical SMB at 500GB of cloud cold storage pays roughly AED 100 to AED 130 per month at Backblaze B2 pricing all-in. We monitor every backup job under our Backup AMC plans from AED 300 per month - see /backup-amc-dubai.
