Where are my backups stored?

A backup is only truly safe if it is kept somewhere separate from the thing it is protecting. That is why DirhamVault stores your backups off-site - on infrastructure separate from the server that runs your live website.

This distinction is the whole point of a good backup. If your backups were kept on the same server as your site, then a serious problem with that server - a hardware failure or a security incident - could take your live site and your backups at the same time, leaving you with nothing to restore from. By keeping copies off-site, DirhamVault ensures your data survives even a worst-case problem with your hosting server.

What this means for you in practice:

• Your backups are held in controlled, off-site storage, accessible only through your account.
• They keep running automatically in the background, independent of your live server.
• You restore from them with a single click in the DirhamHost panel - whole account, or a single file, folder, database or mailbox.

As a UAE company (Sixty Seven Digital FZCO, based in Dubai), we handle your data with care. If you have questions about data location or privacy for your particular requirements, we are happy to discuss them - see our data-privacy article or contact the team directly.

The everyday takeaway is reassuringly simple: your backups live somewhere safe and separate from your site, so they are there when you need them. Questions? Our UAE-based team is available 24/7 at support@dirhamaday.ae or WhatsApp +971 58 553 6767.
