How to Backup Your Salesforce Data Using DataArchiva’s Backup Application?

Salesforce data backup involves regularly copying and storing your Salesforce information to protect it from loss or damage. It ensures that if data is accidentally deleted, corrupted, or lost, you can restore it quickly and keep your business running smoothly. It is essential to ensure the utmost protection of our data for the future of our business, and there is no option like data backup in Salesforce that can deliver this purpose.

Recognizing the importance of data backup, DataArchiva offers backup & recovery solutions to global Salesforce customers.

 With advanced features, it protects your Salesforce data by regularly backing it up securely within your external system and restoring it when needed. DataArchiva offers a powerful solution for all your Salesforce backup needs.

DataArchiva Backup for Salesforce: A Powerful Solution with Diverse Capabilities

DataArchiva is more than just a typical Salesforce backup and recovery tool. It offers a comprehensive platform designed to meet modern backup needs with a wide range of features and options. We aim to enhance your business with an advanced Salesforce data protection strategy that supports current and future needs.

Let’s look at the various backup features DataArchiva offers.

Metadata Backup: Why It’s Essential

We often focus on backing up data, but it’s important to understand the difference between data and metadata. 

Data is the core business information stored in Salesforce, like user details or customer records. For example, entering a customer’s contact info creates new data.

Metadata, on the other hand, describes and configures this data. It includes changes to Salesforce settings or new code classes. 

DataArchiva not only backs up your core data but also your metadata. Although metadata is often overlooked, it’s crucial because it affects how your Salesforce system operates.

Backup for Both Standard and Custom Objects

We understand the importance of safeguarding all your Salesforce data, whether it’s stored in Standard or Custom Objects. DataArchiva ensures comprehensive protection by allowing you to back up both types of objects seamlessly.

Our app provides automatic backups for Standard Objects such as Account, Contact, Lead, and Opportunity—these are default Salesforce objects. Additionally, DataArchiva supports the backup of Custom Objects that you create and tailor for your business needs, such as transaction IDs or purchase dates.

With DataArchiva, you can rest assured that no information will be lost. We’ve got all your data covered.

Backup for Files and Attachments

DataArchiva simplifies backing up Salesforce files and attachments. It starts by connecting to Salesforce to pull out your files and attachments and back up in your preferred cloud storage like AWS S3 & SharePoint. 

Salesforce file backups are stored securely and ensure scalability and land accessibility. You can set up automated backup schedules to keep your files up-to-date without manual effort. In the event of data loss or corruption, DataArchiva offers efficient tools for restoring your files and attachments to Salesforce.

This comprehensive approach ensures that your critical documents and media backups are always protected and recoverable.

Periodic and On-Demand Backup

DataArchiva offers flexible backup options to fit your needs. You can choose between automated backups and manual backups.

With Periodic backups, you can set up automatic schedules for regular data protection, so you don’t have to worry about it. For more control, our On-Demand backup lets you manually back up specific records whenever you choose. It’s all about giving you the flexibility to manage your backups as you prefer.

Differential, Incremental, and Full Backup 

Before discussing how DataArchiva deals with different backup types, let’s look into their differences. 

Full Backup: It comprises the copy of your entire backup set. The most basic backup method, a Full Backup is the starting point for both Incremental and Differential backup strategies. 

Differential Backup: A differential backup only includes the data that have changed since the last full backup, rather than including all changes since the last differential backup.

Incremental Backup: An Incremental Backup process backs up the data that have changed since the most recently completed backup — be it Full or differential.

DataArchiva supports all these backup types based on your requirements. So, it’s helpful to determine your preference for the backup job considering your data nature and backup requirement.   

Use External Cloud Platforms for Backup

DataArchiva allows you to back up your Salesforce data to external cloud platforms of your choice. Our app saves your live Salesforce data and metadata to services like AWS, Azure, Heroku, and Google Cloud Platform.

You can store your backups in the cloud provider you prefer, giving you control and peace of mind about your data’s security. We say, “BRING YOUR CLOUD TO OWN YOUR BACKUP DATA.”

Leverage On-premises Platform for Backup 

Here’s where DataArchiva goes above and beyond for your Salesforce data backup needs. If you don’t prefer to keep your archived data in an external third-party cloud environment, you can bring your On-premise system to store the data. Our application creates backup data in your server by using your On-premise system. Once again, this backup method also understands your preference and compliance rules when it comes to the storage of the backup data.
