Customer Challenge

InnovationsUAE was facing the following challenges:

• No disaster recovery plan in place if the primary AWS account was compromised.
• Inability to implement S3 Object Lock or enforce WORM (Write Once Read Many) protections due to permission constraints.
• Risk of accidental deletion or overwriting by developers with administrative access.
• Data sprawl with multiple regions (Mumbai and N. Virginia) hosting different business datasets
• No cost optimization or lifecycle enforcement on existing S3 buckets.

Solution

Aabasoft implemented a cross-account, cross-region backup architecture using AWS DataSync to replicate S3 data from the source account into a dedicated destination account fully controlled by the customer. Key services used include:

• Amazon S3 Primary and backup storage service for ERP, India, and USA data
• AWS DataSync For automated, scheduled, and secure cross-account data transfer every 10 days
• S3 Glacier Deep Archive Ensures the lowest possible storage cost, ideal for long-term retention with infrequent or no retrieval
• Object Lock Replicated data adds zero management overhead, while maintaining tamper-proof integrity via Object Lock
• IAM & Resource Policies To isolate permissions, ensuring backup integrity

Results and Benefits

Tamper-Proof Backup with Object Lock:

• All destination buckets are immutable due to Object Lock in governance mode
• Prevents accidental or intentional deletions of critical ERP data.

Isolated DR Environment with Full Customer Control:

• Separate AWS account ensures no administrative overlap with developers.
• IAM roles limit visibility and modification rights to backup buckets.

Reliable and Periodic Data Syncing:

• Automated AWS DataSync jobs reduce operational overhead.
• Data backup schedule ensures latest data is never older than 10 days.

Ultra Low-Cost Long-Term Storage:

• By utilizing Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive, the organization significantly reduced storage costs while maintaining durability.
• This archive-tier backup adds zero management overhead and serves as a last-resort recovery layer

Conclusion

With Aabasoft’s guidance, the Leading UAE-Based Outsourcing Company implemented a robust, secure, and low-cost AWS storage backup solution tailored for disaster recovery. The cross-account, cross-region replication ensures that business-critical ERP and operational data are tamper-resistant, fully customer-controlled, and stored in ultra low-cost archival tiers via Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive.

This storage-centric design enables true business continuity without ongoing operational complexity. The system is highly durable, compliant, and built for long-term retention—supporting the organization’s commitment to operational excellence and data security.
