This page describes what users can expect from organization backup functionality provided by Securea.
This section explains how to restore a previously backed-up organization using the Organization Wizard.
The restore process is available in the Organization Wizard.
You can access it in the following ways:
- Administration → Organization Management → + Add via wizard → ▾ → Restore from backup
- Account → + Add via wizard → ▾ → Restore from backup
(available if you do not currently have an organization assigned)
When restoring an organization from a backup, the wizard includes one additional step at the beginning called Backup Selection.
In this step, select the backup you want to restore.
After selecting a backup and continuing to the next step, the system automatically retrieves all available information from the selected backup. The wizard then pre-fills all relevant fields in the remaining steps.
ℹ️ The wizard behaves the same as during standard organization creation. Pre-filled values can still be modified if necessary.
In the Regulations step, the selection is disabled.
All regulations included in the backup will be automatically uploaded to the organization once the restore process is completed.
This section describes the backup restoration process from the data perspective.
- Viewing backup lists, viewing backup details, and restoring from backups are available to users with Securea admin permissions.
- Users without these permissions cannot trigger backup restore actions.
- Available backups are grouped by organization.
- Each organization can have multiple backup versions.
- Backup versions are listed from newest to oldest.
- For each version, users can see the backup timestamp and the organization name captured at backup time.
- The system keeps a configured rolling history of backups.
- Before restoring, users can load organization information from a selected backup version to verify they chose the right one.
- The preview can include
- organization name and description,
- creation time,
- logo data (if available),
- license identifier and jurisdiction,
- master data version and language settings,
- tenant creation wizard data.
- Restore is supported as part of organization creation flow via the organization creation wizard.
- The restore source is selected by backup organization ID and backup version timestamp.
- The backup is restored into the newly created organization.
- The restored organization is aligned with the backed-up master data version.
- If a new logo is not explicitly provided during creation, the logo from backup is used.
¶ Safety and failure behavior
- If backup restoration fails, organization creation is automatically rolled back.
- If later steps in the same creation flow fail, the created organization is also rolled back.
- This prevents users from ending up with partially created organizations ater a failed restore process.
- This flow intentionally des not provide a direct "restore into an already existing organization" action to prevent destructive operations.
- This flow is intentionally user-facing and does not require users to handle backup storage or cryptography details.
