Safeguarding Salesforce data is crucial for sales workflows and overall organizational success. The sensitive nature of this data attracts cybercriminals and internal mistakes like accidental deletion or mishandling metadata can lead to unintended, costly data loss. After all, simple human error is consistently the leading cause of data loss and corruption.
While Salesforce's backup policy covers errors on their end, it's vital for customers to protect themselves from any mishaps beyond Salesforce's control. In fact, Salesforce even recommends customers develop "a routine data backup strategy as part of their overall data management and security model." When it gets down to it, your data is your responsibility; start protecting your data today with Unitrends.

Book a CallFrequently Asked Questions About Salesforce Backup
Salesforce backup is the action of copying or replicating data stored on the Salesforce platform for the purpose of restoring said data at a future time. In the event of data loss or compromise, backed up Salesforce data may be easily restored back into your company’s instance, guaranteeing continuous business operations.
According to Salesforce’s shared responsibility model, clients are in charge of making sure their Salesforce data is backed up and protected. According to this paradigm, Salesforce serves as the “Processor” of the data, while customers serve as the “Controller” of it.
As the Processor, Salesforce assumes all liability for the application’s accessibility and offers robust security features to guarantee the protection of your data. However, Salesforce is also required to honor any add, remove, or edit request to the data, so long as it is a validated request from a legitimate account. As such, all data processing requests and the end result are responsibility of the Controller (you).
Therefore, customers are advised to utilize additional backup options, such as Unitrends Backup for Salesforce. Deploying a trustworthy backup solution helps to promote over-arching Salesforce data integrity, minimize the potential for data loss, and enable quick data restoration when necessary.
Salesforce takes considerable measures to keep your data secure and backed up. However, it’s crucial to remember that Salesforce’s data security mechanisms serve two main purposes: first, to safeguard data against Salesforce’s own mistakes, and second, to further the company’s own objectives regarding disaster recovery. Moreover, these backups may not be adequate in every situation or include vital elements like metadata.
While it is possible to ask for and obtain this data from Salesforce, doing so is a laborious process and will likely be expensive. As a best practice, Salesforce advises customers to “keep a regular backup of your data and to do a manual point-in-time backup before you proceed with any major data project within your organization.”
Salesforce backup is accomplished by first completing a full backup of all the data and metadata in your instance. After the initial comprehensive backup, Unitrends automatically runs incremental backups every day to detect and capture newly changed or added data. If more backup points are necessary, you can perform on-demand backups as often as you’d like.
All backups are stored as a unique point-in-time snapshot within your allocated backup storage. With unlimited retention and versions at your disposal, you may maintain as many Salesforce backup points as necessary.
If data is corrupted, a quick and seamless recovery process ensures that your data is recovered and available again. Numerous capabilities offered by Unitrends make it easy to find and retrieve important data, ensuring that your company recovers in a matter of minutes.
