Backup and disaster recovery, with tests someone actually runs

Daily backups in the Sevways cloud, a replica of critical systems in another data centre and recovery tests with a report. When something needs restoring, the team that knows the ERP handles it.

Com relatório
  1. 01

    Tested backups

    We restore data on purpose, to know that restoring works.

  2. 02

    Another data centre

    Critical systems are replicated away from the original site.

  3. 03

    Encrypted data

    In transit and at rest, in data centres in Portugal.

In summary

What it is
Backups and disaster recovery for servers and ERP systems on the Sevways cloud.
Retention
30 days for daily backups; long-term archiving when the law or the business requires it.
Disaster recovery
Replica of critical systems in another data centre.
Who does it
Sevways runs the backups, tests and restores.

Who it is for

  • Backups nobody has tested

    An external drive or a scheduled task that runs every night, without anyone ever having restored a file.

  • Operations that cannot stop

    Ports, warehouses and factories where one day without the ERP costs more than a year of disaster recovery.

  • Requests from auditors and clients

    Audits, insurers and clients covered by NIS2 asking for proof of backups and restore tests.

  • Ransomware

    Companies that want a copy outside the company network, which an attack on local machines cannot encrypt.

Three layers

Each layer covers a different failure: a deleted file, a lost server or an unavailable data centre.

What we protect
  • ERP servers
    Sage X3, Cegid PRIMAVERA, SAP
  • Databases
    SQL Server and SAP HANA
  • Shared files

What we do

  • Backups

    Daily, with alerts when a backup fails and a check the next day.

  • Disaster recovery

    Replica of critical servers in another data centre and a written start-up plan, with the order of systems and who decides.

  • Recovery tests

    Periodic restores in a separate environment, with a report of what was restored and how long it took.

  • Long-term archive

    Retention for years for tax documents, contracts and data the law requires you to keep.

  • Restore on request

    A file, a database or an entire server, requested through support.

How to buy

How to buy

On the servers we host, daily backups are already included. Replication in another data centre, long-term archiving and tests with a report are contracted separately, with a monthly fee fixed during the initial review.

restore tested

A backup only counts once it has been restored

On the Professional and Enterprise plans, once a quarter, we restore the ERP from the backups on a separate server, measure how long it takes and send you the report.

The Sevways cloud runs in data centres of NOS Empresas and Claranet Portugal, part of the NOS group since 2025. The physical infrastructure is certified; the servers, operations, ERP and support are Sevways'.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to restore the ERP?

It depends on the size of the database and the layer contracted. The time of each test is in the report, so you know before you need it.

Do backups protect against ransomware?

They help: they are kept outside the company network, on the Sevways cloud, and can restore the servers to a state before the attack.

Test your recovery

We look at what is protected today and run a test restore.
