Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service Market to be Worth $31.6 Billion by 2032

Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled, ‘Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service Market by Operating Model (Managed DRaaS, Assisted DRaaS), Function, Organization Size, Sector (IT & Telecommunications, BFSI, Retail, Healthcare), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2032.’

According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, the Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service market is projected to reach $31.6 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 20.5% from 2025-2032. The growth of the disaster recovery-as-a-service market is driven by the growing demand for data security and scalability, rising data breaches and ransomware attacks, and the growing adoption of disaster recovery-as-a-service in the BFSI sector. However, the complexity of deployment and setting terms restrains the growth of the disaster recovery-as-a-service market. Furthermore, the growing adoption of advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning and the increasing adoption of cloud-based solutions among SMEs are expected to create growth opportunities in the market. However, one of the major challenges for players operating in this market is the lack of awareness and misconceptions regarding disaster recovery service solutions among potential customers.

The disaster recovery-as-a-service market is segmented by operating model (managed DRaaS, assisted DRaaS, and self-service DRaaS), function (data protection, real-time replication, and other functions), organization size (large and small & medium-sized enterprises), and sector (BFSI, IT & telecommunications, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, government, energy & utility, and other sectors). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.

Based on operating model, the disaster recovery-as-a-service market is segmented into managed DRaaS, assisted DRaaS, and self-service DRaaS. In 2025, the managed DRaaS segment is expected to account for the largest share of the disaster recovery-as-a-service market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the rising adoption of managed DRaaS in the IT & telecommunications sector, the rising need for business continuity across organizations, and the growing adoption of cloud solutions. In addition, the benefits managed DRaaS offers, such as fast recovery, enhanced security, minimized damage, actionable insight, and reduced cost, further support the growth of this segment. Also, this segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on function, the disaster recovery-as-a-service market is segmented into data protection, backup & recovery, and other functions. In 2025, the data protection segment is expected to account for the largest share of the disaster recovery-as-a-service market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the rising number of data breaches and ransomware attacks, the rising demand for data security, and the growing demand for data protection in various sectors.

However, the backup & recovery segment is slated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rising adoption of cloud data backup, increasing risk of data breaches, and growing adoption of backup & recovery solutions in the BFSI sector are expected to support the growth of this segment.

Based on organization size, the disaster recovery-as-a-service market is segmented into large enterprises and small & medium-sized enterprises. In 2025, the large enterprises segment is expected to account for the larger share of the disaster recovery-as-a-service market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the strong IT infrastructure of large enterprises, the management of disaster recovery platforms by skilled IT personnel, and the growing adoption of advanced technologies such as cloud, AI, and machine learning. However, the small & medium-sized enterprises segment is slated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on sector, the disaster recovery-as-a-service market is segmented into BFSI, IT & telecommunications, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, government, energy & utility, and other sectors. In 2025, the IT & telecommunications segment is expected to account for the largest share of the disaster recovery-as-a-service market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the rising need for business continuity across organizations, growing adoption of cloud solutions, and cost-effectiveness and flexibility offered by disaster recovery-as-a-service that help mitigate downtime by faster recovery of business operations.

However, the BFSI segment is slated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rising fraudulent activities, rising adoption of disaster recovery-as-a-service for various financial processes, and surging need for improving the agility of work and customer experience are expected to support the growth of this segment.

Based on geography, the disaster recovery-as-a-service market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2025, North America is expected to account for the largest share of the disaster recovery-as-a-service market. North America’s major market share is attributed to the presence of prominent players offering advanced disaster recovery-as-a-service solutions to various sectors. Furthermore, the growing adoption of disaster recovery-as-a-service in BFSI, retail, and IT & telecommunications sectors; growing adoption of advanced technologies; and rising demand for data security are also contributing to the growth of the disaster recovery-as-a-service market in North America.

However, Asia-Pacific is projected to register the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this market is driven by the growth in regional economies, growing awareness regarding disaster recovery-as-a-service among small and medium-sized organizations, and the expanding retail and BFSI sector, especially in China, Japan, South Korea, and India.

Entry 01

So, uh... I still don't know whether I should record anything regarding my... sabbatical, or not. I mean, even if someone finds this after my... potential permanent departure, it wouldn't change much, but it's hard to give up old lab habits... *loud sigh* I don't know if this has been a good id-

*loudly whispered* Hey! Leave that equipment alone! Yes, I'm talking to you! Don't attract attention.

As now evident, the feline specimen I took with me is still here.

I mean, I didn't want to take it... her with me. I just needed a distraction to cover for my brisk nightly departure, so I accidentally let her out of her enclosure.

I don't know what use they had for her -I no longer have access to any level of details since... that day-, but the tag on her enclosure was "Marked for disposal", so it's not like I did anything bad. All in all, I'm sure she welcomed one last thrill, scaring everyone else awake and into the blast-proof lab, while taking the night guards and golems for a jog around the facility.

Anyway, that's when I took my chance and slipped through the unattended main gate. Luckily it hadn't been rerouted yet and I ended up in the restricted Inquest area in Rata Sum. To think it could have been one of the bigger facilities, that could have been... *little hysterical chuckle turns into a groan and muttered curse words*

Regardless, I managed to act normal enough to pass through it without raising suspicion and quickly went to gather supplies at the overnight open kitchen in the city. There were some people there even at that hour, so I had to make it look like I was getting an all-nighter snack for my krewe, meaning I couldn't take much, just a dozen hamburgers and a couple different things. I'm too tense to feel hungry, so it should last me a bit.

I even managed to make my way to the gate for Metrica without crossing anyone I know. I mean, my first choice was to leave for Lion's Arch, but I spotted some ex-classmates of mine hanging out right next to the gate in Magustan Court, so I had to change course to remain undetected. ... I wonder what they'd think of me now...

Anyway, I don't know how she made it through the gates and city without being followed or raising alarms, but this beast somehow tracked me all the way here in Soren Draa. And it's definitely her, I recognize the notch in her ear. Scared the ever-Eternal Alchemy out of me, too. I don't know how I didn't shriek when I heard a noise and turned around to find her fangs right in my face.

She doesn't obey me, she doesn't trust me near her, I don't even dare to touch her, but she meekly follows me around and people stay at a safe distance. That's definitely a great boon for now, enough to earn a bit of my food to keep her around for longer. Watching her play with the lightning bugs as I record this is at least entertaining.

Anyway, I'm now at a common area at the edges of Soren Draa, near the Hinterlabs. I would much prefer to keep moving, they're surely looking for me -and maybe my feline companion-, but I rarely ever left civilization outside of organized fieldwork and never on my own, so I'm... hesitant. But alas, I have no choice. Still, I don't trust myself to venture out there in general, so it's better to wait until it's almost dawn and the labs start bustling with activity. It'll be harder to get spotted, if I'm not the odd one out moving between labs.

Speaking of, I absolutely have to get rid of this uniform as soon as possible. People treat our... the Inquest's colors with suspicion after what happened north of here, and I don't blame them one bit. That, and it makes me easily recognizable. I'll have to buy new clothes and maybe a proper weapon, something better than this training longbow I didn't steal from a rack in the previous common area. It was on the ground next to it, I swear. I don't want to quickly go through what little gold I have with me, so I'll take what I can get for cheap... or find.

*sigh* I wish I had the time to make a plan before leaving, but I'm forced to make this up as I go. For now, I want to get as far away from Rata Sum as I can, even if it means going through Inquest territories in the region... which I don't exactly know the location of... *nervous chuckle, followed by another longer, deeper sigh*

Just a little intro post to better introduce them, their still-unnamed big kitty and a bit of their backstory. They're so not prepared, but I am at least :'D

[ratasum]

"Which Elder Dragon scared/unnerved them the most and why?", but for the non-Commander OCs who had to deal with them

Ooh okay so let's see. I'll go with the most important NPCs of mine in each setting.

For Qirri? Zhaitan. Keeping in mind she was sixteen years old (having literally only turned sixteen in the handful of days before Claw Island) and the farthest she'd been from Rata Sum in the previous sixteen years had been a single day trip into Soren Draa, she'd largely been shielded from the horrors being delivered on the rest of the world. Starting to see the worst of it as they grew closer to Zhaitan's domain was really scary for a girl her age who had, up until running away, been quite sheltered. Once everything was said and done, she sat down with Garrus and just cried for a bit to get that out of her system.

Kippa struggled the most with Mordremoth, especially after details came to light regarding the true nature of the Thaumanova disaster. It was hard for her, too, since one of her best friends in the whole of Tyria was (and still is) a sylvari mender in the Priory named Gwella. She was worried for his sake, considering what had come to light and what had driven Scarlet to do what she did. She was already traumatized, too, from the destruction of Rata Thauma... and then there were other events during HoT and Kippa's unsteady control on her magic that made it worse.

Xeonna's was Primordus. While her time was some time after the exodus, there were asura who had family in living memory that remembered fleeing. Still, that knowledge is what drove her to stand up and take on the role of Champion of Primordus in Braham's stead during that push in Icebrood Saga. She was from a time long gone and was, in her mind, expendable. So trying to control the thing that had terrorized her people felt like the logical conclusion to her at the time.

For Peregrine's setting, since it's really just him and Jenn's Lia, I'll instead talk about Leyya in this setting! And her hang-up was also Mordremoth. In her case because she had been on the airship with Zojja when it went down, and her time in and out of consciousness in a Priory camp after she was found and Zojja wasn't was harrowing. To know that she, and many people they knew and cared about, were under risk of losing their lives or worse to that thing? It rattled her all the way down to her core, and she had nightmares for a while about what she saw in the aftermath of the crash. Sylvari turning all around her until someone managed to get her out in time.

Lastly, Mharnii. As she spent a great deal of time with the Skrittsburg scratch and was a trusted guard of the king, she too had a great deal of anxiety regarding Primordus... especially since Destroyers were a constant threat in the eastern tunnels. When that time came around, it was pretty clear she was unsettled, sticking close to Menelaus through most of the conflict. She did accompany him, Rhoslinn, and Khaya to the final confrontation, though.

The Last Silverboughs - 8

Baldur's Gate 3, Astarion x Tav

Halsin struggles to put his past to rest, but it's haunting him in more ways than he realizes. He'd thought his time in the Underdark was long behind him, an unpleasant pitfall of youthful hubris, but remnants of his captivity remain, the youngest of which unwittingly stumbles to his rescue.

Lythra can't stop running from her past--hasn't, since she managed to make it out of the Underdark. She has no love for Menzoberranzan, or her House, or anything she left behind in the dark. Or nearly anything.

Still, she'd rather die than return--a prospect all the more likely with a tadpole jammed behind her eye. But perhaps, with the help of a renown druidic healer, she can go back to what remains of her half-life in the sun.

Before the Sky is Lost

Xaryn looked up as the door to the training yard opened, pausing in his methodical sharpening of his sword. She was late, again, though he couldn’t fault her—she existed at their mother’s whim, more so than the rest of them.

He pitied her the attention. 

His sister was small and slight, hardly nine—over three decades younger than him, though they shared nearly the same pale eyes, though his held more of the silver-green of the darthiir that had sired their mother. Hers were near-colorless, just like the rest of her. 

What wasn’t bruised, or bloodied, that was.

She was accompanied again by the damn drider, Omareth, their mother’s pet, a nasty, cruel creature that would report if either of them so much as breathed wrong. 

“You were supposed to have brought her quarter hour ago,” Xaryn spat at the drider, though he did his best to keep his tone even. It was a balancing act—always a balancing act in the House, especially when dealing with their mother and her pawns. 

“I—I am sorry, Xaryn. It was—I—it was my fault,” she stammered, wide, frightened eyes darting between him and Omareth.

He glared at the drider who merely stared back in serene satisfaction, challenging him to say more, to do something about it. Sure, he could go to the Matron, and she’d have the drider whipped, or strung up by his spindly little legs for a week or two, but any punishment brought upon on one of his mother’s creatures would be inflicted doubly on his sister and he doubted he’d still be allowed to remain her martial tutor. 

“Put on your gear and start warming up, Lythrana,” he said, gaze not leaving the drider’s. He watched her, out of the corner of his eye, though, watched her fumble with the clasps of her leather chest piece, her limbs slow and clumsy. 

Drider venom was a paralytic, and sapped the strength from the person poisoned. Traits he knew his mother found useful, in her work.

“And you—go to the market. I need raven’s feathers, three dozen. She is to learn to fletch,” he said, knowing it would take the damned creature hours to find that many. “Now,” he practically growled when the drider didn’t move. He scowled, but followed the order.

Xaryn turned back to his sister only after the door slammed shut behind the drider. She’d managed to pull on her equipment and was muddling her way through the last dagger form he’d taught her on the far side of the yard. 

She had talent, especially with two blades. 

Given a decade to properly train and he didn’t doubt she’d master draa velve. She was fast and naturally ambidextrous, not to mention single-minded in her focus. Though, given their mother’s interference it might take three or more.

She was struggling today, frustration clear on her face, her left arm shaking from something more than just the lingering effects of the venom. He strode forward, freezing when he scented heavy iron in the air.

“Stop,” he said, rage flaring in his gut. 

“No—no I can do it right, I promise. See, see—?” She did the move again, form perfect even though her arms shook with the effort. He glared at her, narrowing his eyes.

“Show me.”

“I don’t—I—“

“I can smell the blood, little sister. Show me, now,” he said, silver-green eyes flashing. She shrunk back, fear flashing across her face before she could mask it. 

He stopped then, hating that she gave him the same look as the foul drider, as Kelennar, as their mother. It was safer, that way, he knew, but it didn’t lessen the revulsion. If their mother learned he favored her, that he did what he could to protect her from those he was able, he’d hardly see her again. She’d find her a new sword master who would beat her bloody without a thought, who would punish her more for the weakness their mother inflicted.

It was the reason Elendar was so rarely allowed to see his daughter, the reason he spent nearly as much time locked in his chambers as Lythrana spent locked in her farce of a room. 

Her hands shook as she undid the buckles, but she managed to pull her armor off. He could see blood, then, soaking through her undershirt, blood that had been mostly hidden by her tunic—that or she’d managed to re-tear injuries as she practiced. 

She never would stop if she was injured, not if she could force herself to push through. It might be considered an admirable by some, but outside battle, he thought it foolish. 

He worried it was more a product of their mother’s cruelty that her own determination.

His breath caught in his chest as he turned her so he could see her back, lifting her shirt to see the extent of the damage. He’d expected she’d been beaten, perhaps whipped, as their mother favored—he’d certainly earned that particular punishment enough for it to seem nearly banal. He hadn’t expected the deep incisions into her flesh, new and old and long-scarred. And there were things beneath her skin, blackening it, though the color seemed to be fading in the older wounds. 

What had she done to her? He could feel magic radiating from the wounds, powerful magic, even if he couldn’t put a name to it. All he knew was that it was unnatural, that it was too much for her little body. 

He pressed a hand to her back, summoning what meager healing he had at his disposal, surprised by the icy chill of her skin—she should be overheated, from her warm up and her forms. She flinched away with a whimper.

He swore, tugging her shirt back down, jaw tight.

He didn’t think he could be surprised with their mother’s cruelty any longer. Perhaps he hadn’t been paying as much attention as he’d thought. 

“I c-can do it right this time. Please, Xaryn,” she said, her voice little more than a whisper.

“We’re done training today,” he said, voice clipped. 

“No—I can still train. I’ll do better, I promise! Please—“

“We’re done. I can’t train you, if you’re half beaten to death.”

“You—you can! I promise you can! I’ll train harder, I’ll show you—“

“We’re done. We’ll pick up again tomorrow, after your father heals you.”

“No—no, please, Xaryn! I promise—I pr-promise—“ she stammered, voice breaking.

“Do not argue with me,” he said, grabbing her arm firmly, but not enough to hurt. The last thing he needed was to give her another bruise. He pulled her through the main house, towards Elendar’s rooms. He wished he could simply pick her up and carry her—it would be easier for them both—but the servants would talk, if they saw such a display of affection. 

He knocked, too hard, on Elendar’s study door—two short raps followed by two slower ones, his way of announcing himself.

“Come in,” he answered quickly, voice slightly muffled. 

Elendar sat behind his desk, brow furrowed. Xaryn was always surprised by how much Lythra favored her father, especially when both he and Kelennar favored their mother so strongly in appearance. They were both lithe and delicate-featured, though Elendar had freckled, blue-grey skin and long, silver hair he wore in a braid. He had a scar that cut through his bottom lip, and another that split his brow, though he hadn’t when he’d first been made a ‘guest’.

He froze mid-watering a miniature surface tree, a mote of arcane sunlight floating gently above it. His eyes widened as they flicked from Xaryn down to Lythra, who refused to look at either of them.

“She is in no condition for training today,” he said evenly, trying to convey what he couldn’t say with words by the sharpness of his gaze. Elendar’s eyes widened slightly as he understood, nodding as he turned back to his daughter. His heart lurched slightly at his expression, at the clear affection he had for her. 

Xaryn’s father had been killed decades ago, when he was but a babe, for the failure to produce a female heir. He doubted, though, even if he had lived, that he would have ever looked at him with that sort of kindness.

It wasn’t the sort of thing that was allowed to grow in the Underdark.

“Thank you, for informing me, Xaryn. I will deal with it,” he replied, one hand reaching out towards her. “There is no need to inform anyone else.”

Xaryn nodded once, gaze flicking down to her as he took a deep breath. 

“I’m sorry, Xaryn. I’ll do better tomorrow,” she said, her voice barely more than a whisper. He briefly placed his hand on the back of her head before he took a deep breath and stepped back.

“I know, Lythie.”

She looked at him strangely then, pale eyes still full of apprehension, but her brow furrowed, too, at the nickname, at the way he finally allowed his voice to soften, just a bit.

She was clever—perhaps she’d put it together, the carefully maintained distance, the severity without cruelty, the fact that he insisted he be the one to train her, despite the fact House Mizzrym had far more senior sword masters. Perhaps, if if she was older, she’d understand. 

But she was only nine, and the world was so cruel, had so rarely been anything but.  

Lythra sat on a flat rock, binding the wound on her calf. 

Taking out the bolt had been a misery, though the pain had hardly lessened without it. The creche had been a dead end, and a particularly deadly one. She’d have to talk to Lae’zel later, after her fury at her goddess’s betrayal had lessened a bit. 

To be honest, she was avoiding going back to camp. She knew the rest would be talking about the journey through the Underdark, and she didn’t want to think about it yet. 

She hadn’t ventured back to the Underdark since she’d crawled out of the Labyrinth. The idea of going back—

She’d almost rather risk the Shadow-Curse. 

It was not the right tactical call, she was sure, considering how adamant Halsin was of the Curse’s power, but it was the one that made her feel less like craving out of her skin. 

“Are you still bleeding?”

She jolted in fright, reaching for her dagger while she lead with a backhanded punch, a blow she barely had time to stay when she realized it was just Astarion. She sighed, dropping her hands. 

She turned back to her previous work without apologizing. They hadn’t really talked since the party. Truth be told, she’d been avoiding him, as much as possible. 

“You are fast, my darling.”

“I should make you wear a bell,” she groused. He laughed, delighted to have frightened her. 

“Is that all you’d have me wear?” He nearly purred back. She rolled her eyes, tying off the linen strip. She took a deep breath, staring out over the rolling hillsides surrounding the monastery.

“What do you want, Astarion?” she asked, voice carefully measured. She had no right to be cross with him, she knew. She wasn’t really—just with herself, for being foolish and soft and stupid. 

Everything Kelennar had always accused her of. 

“Thought I would see what was so interesting it was keeping you from camp for hours.”

“I’ll head back in a bit.”

“Hmm,” he said, reaching over to brush a stray lock of hair out of her face and tucking it behind her ear. She shivered at the feel of his fingers lingering by the shell of her ear, playing with the strands. “You really should do something more refined than just tying it in a knot with that awful leather cord. I daresay it could be rather fetching with a few braids.”

Her heart clenched at the memory of the last time she’d worn braids—her father had done her hair, only a few hours before the House had been attacked, before everything had been attacked, before he and Xaryn dragged her through the city, ducking through alleys and dodging demons. 

The last day before it had gone so, so wrong.

“Ah yes, I’m sure the minotaurs and hook horrors will be enchanted,” she deadpanned. 

“I don’t know about any subterranean monstrosities, but I would find it a marked improvement.”

She’d bet he’d find nearly anything an improvement to her looks. 

“Yes, well—it seems I shall remain ever the disappointment,” she said. “I’m going to see if Gale is in need of another artifact, after that fight.”

“I don’t see why we should waste perfectly good magical artifacts on the wizard.”

“You haven’t seen the consequence of wild, Netherese magic.”

“Oh, and you have?”

She didn’t answer, instead just thinking of the foul, ever-changing tunnels fueled by the fouler magic. She looked away, trying to quiet the hammering of her heart. She wasn’t pleased to be traveling with someone who was carrying a bit of it in them, ready to blow, though she hadn’t been surprised by his admission. 

She practically expected wizards to make catastrophically dangerous decisions based solely on their unchecked curiosity and hubris. 

“You and your secrets,” he hummed, still toying with her hair. As if he was anyone to talk. “You know, I was thinking—“

“Always dangerous,” she quipped, interrupting him. He narrowed his eyes, giving her a look before continuing. 

“I was thinking, since this is our last night under the stars for the foreseeable future, we should spend it getting to know each other better. Every inch of each other.”

Her stomach twisted at the prospect, even as a pang of arousal hit her, of longing. It was an awful, jumbled up feeling. She hadn’t expected his fleeting, mercurial affection to leave her feeling so raw, afterwards, so discarded. 

It made perfect sense, of course—Astarion the most beautiful person she had ever seen and she was the remnants of a half-failed science experiment. She was a warm body nothing more. A foolish girl not yet twenty who hadn’t thought anything could go wrong with sleeping with the big, bad vampire spawn. 

She wanted to throw up, but she also couldn’t help but lean into his touch as he threaded his fingers through her hair, so starved for the slightest tender affection.

She hadn’t realized how much she’d wanted to just be held, for a while. 

“Astarion—“

“I procured some decent wine—we could slip away after the others fall asleep. I want to see you in nothing but moonlight—I rather think it’s your best look. What do you say, darling?”

“Perhaps,” she said, dropping her gaze to her lap, hating herself  for not telling him no outright. “There is still much to be done before tomorrow’s decent.”

She got up then, clenching her teeth as the weight on her leg sent a fresh stab of pain through her. It would be better tomorrow—better enough to deal with whatever horrors awaited them. Astarion furrowed his brows, but didn’t say anything, though he followed closer than necessary, as if he wanted to be in her orbit. 

She didn’t spend the night with Astarion, much to his theatrical disappointment and irritation. Instead she spent it soothing the owlbear cub she’d freed from the goblin camp, who’d showed up with an injured foot. It was alone in the world and frightened, something she could more than empathize with. 

She decided to call him Lotha, mainly because she thought it was funny. Even now, and hardly a few weeks old, he was hardly little.

He fell asleep sprawled in her lap as she stroked its feathers, Scratch curled at her hip. She found herself murmuring an old, half-remembered lullaby to the creature, though perhaps it was more to soothe herself as she stared up at the stars. She looked up at the sound of quiet footsteps approaching and spotted Halsin. He gave her a rueful smile before settling next to the fire. 

“You know, most would run, even from a mere cub. Not bind its wounds and sing it to sleep.”

“Fools. He’s adorable.”

“And dangerous, though you seem to have a way with predators,” he replied. He eyes flicked over to Astarion’s tent before she could help herself. She looked back down at the cub, burying her fingers in his downy feathers.

“Does he have a name?” Halsin asked, drawing her from her thoughts.

“He—he didn’t. I’ve been calling him Lotha. He seems to like it well enough.”

Halsin let out a bark of a laugh. Lythra froze, brows furrowing.

“You speak ilythiiri?”

“A bit. You pick up a lot over 350 years. I think it’s a good name.”

“Well, hopefully he doesn’t grow out of it,” she joked lamely. Halsin was still nice enough to huff a laugh. Then he sighed, face turning serious.

“I wager you have some experience in the Underdark.”

“You could say that.”

“You don’t seem pleased to return.”

“No. Few with any sense would be. But desperate times makes fools of us all.”

Halsin stared out over the fire. “Indeed they do.”

They sat in silence for a few minutes, until Lythra leaned back to stare at the stars again. 

“It’s silly. I—I went nearly my whole life without seeing the sky, but the thought of giving it up now, even for a few weeks—“ she broke off, shaking her head. She didn’t know what she said it, why she was any more than he absolutely needed to know. 

Perhaps she just needed to tell somebody. 

“I must admit, I am not looking forward to their loss either. The Underdark holds its own, otherworldly allure, but I much prefer the forests of the surface.” He paused again, long enough that she thought he was done talking, content to merely enjoy the fire. “Though the to forest we journey too has long missed the stars.” 

“D'elezz udos szuk wund oloth, xal oloth neitar olplynir wund dosst xukuth,” she said, almost to herself.

“Lueth ori'gato isilme zuch mrimm dos delmah,” Halsin replied, his smile widening. “I might have guessed you followed the Dark Maiden.”

“What—no. I don’t—it’s not,” she said, he mind whirring. “I just—I remembered it. Why would I—“

She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. She must have just heard it somewhere and stored it away for whatever reason. She’d never been one for religion, after all. 

“My mistake,” he said, still with that genial smile, though she doubted he actually was or believed himself mistaken. 

“It—it doesn’t matter,” she said quickly, her mind still racing. Why would she know a prayer to Eilistraee? She’d never been the pious sort, only ever grew up around the travesties committed in the name of worshipping Lolth—that had been quite enough to turn her from the divine for good. But the words kept coming back to her, almost like a song.

i would very much like to hear about number 9 the great clone bake off :D

!!! this is a 5+1 fic I started for the food prompt during gree week but it was taking too long. basically gree puts together a team of his men to come up with a cultural dish for the clones, which they decide will be a sweet fish dumpling. there is Much trial and error. here's a snippet from immediately after the first attempt:

Gree leaned forward, stylus and datapad in hand to take notes. “Alright, give me the details.”

“Filling texture was all wrong -”

“I think it was the oil -”

“- the pastry is tough as rubber -”

“- it was like a fish film over the whole thing -”

“- and the spices were so overpowering.”

“- I swear I could peel it.”

“It’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted,” Cooker and Nemec said in unison, “I would prefer rat-bars.”

“Fascinating,” Gree said, passing his datapad to the Mess Sergeant.

Wyot hummed over the notes, then took out his own handheld to mark up his recipe. “Alright, water is a bust, fish oil is a bust, spice mix is a bust…. I’ll work on some empty shells until I’ve got the pastry part right.”

“Any ideas for what’s next?”

Gal leaned over Wyot’s shoulder. “I’d go straight to spacer lard for frying. Pretty sure your spices are just too much and too similar. Needs some variety.”

“What do you got in mind?” Wyot asked.

Gal shrugged. “Hell if I know. Something simple, probably. Like sugar. Maybe the tiniest bit of salt to balance it out, like in those cookies Commander Offee makes.”

Wyot cursed under his breath and scribbled in Gal’s suggestions.

“At least this was informative,” Gree said, steepling his fingers.

Cooker had taken Draa’s uneaten dumpling and was, indeed, peeling off a thick film of fish oil. Both the three taste testers and the two captains watched in the sort of civil disgust and unholy fascination typical of natborns their chronological age, while Gett pretended disinterest.

Gree did his best to ignore it, but he was not immune to the inclinations of his inexperienced mind. “Dismissed, gentlemen,” he finally managed. “I’ll see you after the next supply run.”

Why Cloud Backup Is Essential for Modern Businesses

In today’s data-driven world, protecting critical business information is more important than ever. Whether you're a small startup or a large enterprise, data loss can be catastrophic. This is where cloud backup plays a crucial role. It offers a secure, cost-effective, and scalable solution for storing and recovering valuable data — ensuring business continuity even in the face of disaster.

What Is Cloud Backup?

Cloud backup, also known as online backup, refers to the process of sending a copy of physical or virtual files or databases to a secondary, off-site location for preservation in case of equipment failure, cyberattacks, or other data loss events. These backups are stored on remote servers that can be accessed over the internet and managed by third-party service providers.

Unlike traditional on-premise backups, cloud backup doesn’t require physical hardware such as external drives or tapes. Instead, it leverages remote servers hosted in secure data centers, often with multiple layers of encryption and redundancy.

Key Benefits of Cloud Backup

1. Security and Data Protection Security is a top priority for cloud backup providers. Most services use advanced encryption protocols — both during data transfer and while at rest — to ensure your sensitive data remains protected. Additionally, these platforms offer multi-factor authentication, regular vulnerability scanning, and compliance with global security standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO.

2. Accessibility and Convenience One of the greatest advantages of cloud backup is that data can be accessed anytime, from anywhere. Whether you're working from the office, home, or a remote location, you can restore your files in minutes. This is particularly valuable for companies with distributed teams or hybrid work models.

3. Cost Efficiency With cloud backup, there's no need to invest in expensive hardware or worry about maintenance and upgrades. Most providers operate on a subscription-based model, allowing you to pay only for the storage you use. This scalability makes it easy for businesses of all sizes to manage costs while ensuring data protection.

4. Automated Backups Gone are the days of manual backups. With cloud backup solutions, you can schedule automatic backups at regular intervals, reducing human error and ensuring up-to-date data protection. Most services also offer versioning — storing multiple versions of a file — to recover from accidental deletions or changes.

5. Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Data loss due to ransomware, hardware failure, or natural disasters can bring your business to a halt. Cloud backup enables rapid recovery, minimizing downtime and financial loss. Many providers also offer Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), allowing you to replicate entire systems, not just data.

Types of Cloud Backup

1. Full Backup A complete backup of all data, typically done initially and periodically to ensure comprehensive protection.

2. Incremental Backup Only changes made since the last backup are stored. This method saves bandwidth and storage space.

3. Differential Backup Captures all changes made since the last full backup. It uses more space than incremental backups but allows for faster recovery.

4. Mirror Backup An exact real-time copy of your source data. It is faster but less secure since deleted or infected files are immediately mirrored.

Choosing the Right Cloud Backup Solution

When selecting a cloud backup provider, consider the following:

Storage Capacity: Assess how much data you need to store and whether the service allows for easy upgrades.

Security Features: Look for end-to-end encryption, compliance certifications, and advanced authentication options.

Backup Frequency: Choose a solution that fits your backup schedule — hourly, daily, or real-time.

Ease of Use: A user-friendly interface and easy setup process are essential for quick adoption.

Support & Reliability: 24/7 technical support and a proven track record of uptime are key.

Some leading cloud backup services include Acronis, Veeam, Backblaze, Carbonite, and IDrive. Cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive also offer backup functionalities but are more suited for personal or light business use.

Cloud Backup and Regulatory Compliance

Many industries, especially healthcare, finance, and legal services, are governed by strict data privacy laws. Cloud backup helps businesses stay compliant by maintaining secure records, enabling proper access control, and offering audit trails for data handling. Be sure to choose a provider familiar with your industry’s regulations.

The Future of Cloud Backup

With the rise in cyber threats and the increasing value of data, cloud backup is rapidly evolving. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are being integrated to predict system failures, automate backup processes, and detect anomalies. Additionally, edge computing and hybrid cloud models are giving businesses more flexibility and control over their data.

Final Thoughts

Cloud backup is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. As the volume of digital information continues to grow, safeguarding your data should be a top priority. Cloud-based backup solutions provide a reliable, secure, and affordable way to protect your business against data loss, cyberattacks, and disasters.

Investing in the right cloud backup strategy today means you’re securing your business's future tomorrow. Don’t wait for data loss to occur. Be proactive, stay protected, and keep your operations running smoothly, no matter what.

From Downtime to Uptime: How Managed Cloud Keeps You Running 24/7

In today’s always-on digital economy, every second of downtime costs more than revenue—it costs customer trust, productivity, and your competitive edge. Whether you run an eCommerce platform, a logistics company, or a healthcare network, uninterrupted access to your data, systems, and applications is critical.

Yet, ensuring 24/7 uptime and robust infrastructure isn’t easy when you rely solely on in-house IT teams and on-premises servers. That’s why more businesses are turning to Managed Cloud Solutions—a smarter, more resilient way to maintain uptime, improve scalability, and ensure business continuity.

In this article, we’ll explore how Managed Cloud Solutions help you shift from unexpected downtime to consistent, worry-free uptime, empowering your business to operate smoothly, securely, and efficiently—24/7.

What Are Managed Cloud Solutions?

Managed Cloud Solutions refer to services provided by cloud experts who handle the end-to-end management of your cloud infrastructure. This includes:

Cloud deployment and migration

Infrastructure monitoring and maintenance

Data backup and disaster recovery

Cybersecurity management

Resource scaling and optimization

Compliance and reporting

Unlike standard cloud hosting, which provides raw infrastructure, managed cloud services include ongoing operational support—so your business gets the cloud benefits without the technical burdens.

Why Uptime Matters

Before diving into how managed cloud services help, let’s understand what’s at stake.

Downtime impacts:

🛑 Sales & Revenue – Transaction-based businesses lose income instantly

💥 Employee Productivity – Teams sit idle without access to key systems

❌ Customer Experience – Downtime causes frustration, churn, and lost loyalty

⚠️ Compliance Risks – Missed SLAs, data access violations, or failed audits

🔒 Security Gaps – During downtime, security protocols may be disrupted

Uptime is a crucial business indicator, not merely an IT issue.

How Managed Cloud Solutions Ensure 24/7 Uptime

Let’s look at the key features of managed cloud services that make around-the-clock uptime possible:

1. Proactive Monitoring and Issue Resolution

Managed cloud providers continuously monitor your systems using real-time dashboards, AI-driven alerts, and predictive analytics. This means:

Issues are detected before they escalate

Performance bottlenecks are resolved swiftly

Uptime SLAs (often 99.9%+) are consistently met

Rather than reacting to outages, providers work proactively—ensuring smooth operations 24/7.

2. Built-in Redundancy and High Availability

With managed cloud infrastructure, your data and workloads are distributed across multiple servers, regions, or availability zones. This setup:

Minimizes single points of failure

Enables automatic failover

Ensures high availability even during hardware failures or maintenance

As a result, your system is still available even in the unfortunate circumstance that one server fails.

3. Scalability On Demand

During peak traffic—like holiday sales, product launches, or seasonal surges—traditional systems often crash due to overload. Managed cloud providers offer auto-scaling, which:

Adjusts resources based on real-time demand

Prevents slowdowns and crashes

Optimizes performance without over-provisioning

This keeps your applications running smoothly, no matter how many users log in.

4. Automated Backups and Disaster Recovery

A key part of uptime is data availability, even in worst-case scenarios like cyberattacks, power outages, or natural disasters.

Managed cloud solutions provide:

Scheduled backups stored in multiple secure locations

Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) for rapid restoration

RTO and RPO guarantees (Recovery Time Objective & Recovery Point Objective)

This ensures business continuity with minimal data loss and downtime—even in emergencies.

5. Security-First Cloud Operations

Cybersecurity threats can cause downtime through ransomware, DDoS attacks, or internal breaches. Managed cloud providers handle:

24/7 security monitoring

Patch management and vulnerability scans

Multi-layer firewalls and access controls

Encryption and compliance audits

Their security posture helps prevent breaches that could otherwise paralyze your operations.

6. Round-the-Clock Expert Support

Certified engineers are available around the clock to assist managed cloud providers. Whether you have a configuration issue or a performance concern, help is always available without depending solely on in-house staff.

Faster resolutions around the clock and less stress for your IT staff are the results of this.

Additional Business Benefits of Managed Cloud

Beyond uptime, managed cloud services offer broader value that supports your growth:

✅ Cost Predictability

Pay-as-you-go pricing

No surprise downtime costs

Reduced need for in-house infrastructure and maintenance

✅ Faster Deployment

Get up and running in days, not months

Roll out new apps or updates instantly

✅ Business Focus

Focus on innovation and growth—not IT firefighting

Let your internal team handle strategy, not servers

Choosing the Right Managed Cloud Partner

Not all providers are equal. Look for:

🔹 24/7 Monitoring & Support – Ensure around-the-clock protection

🔹 Redundancy & Disaster Recovery – Ask about failover plans and backup frequency

🔹 Compliance Expertise – Especially if you operate in regulated industries

🔹 Performance Optimization Tools – To ensure speed, not just stability

🔹 Custom SLAs – Make sure uptime and response times are contractually defined

Bonus Tip: Choose a provider with local data center options (e.g., UAE, GCC) for faster access and compliance with regional laws.

Final Thoughts: From Reactive to Resilient

In an era where digital presence equals brand presence, your infrastructure must never sleep. Consumers anticipate having access to services whenever and wherever they need them.

Managed Cloud Solutions help you make that promise a reality.

By proactively monitoring your systems, optimizing performance, and safeguarding your data, they deliver 24/7 uptime without burdening your internal team. That means fewer disruptions, lower risk, happier customers, and more growth opportunities.

I've managed to find an event in Soren Draa that I have NEVER seen.

I was scouting a location in that area for a kind of "after the work day krewe mixer" for asura rpers and went on the wiki to find this:

Prevent Inquest thieves from stealing boxes of golem parts and fleeing Soren Draa

Even the wiki makes a note that it's a very rare event that doesn't seem to have an obvious trigger. I've been playing asura for the better part of eleven years and have spent SO much time in Soren Draa, and yet I've managed to never see this. I should just like. Lurk in the starting area sometime to see if it'll ever pop when I'm in there...
