Veeam Software, announced it has launched the NEW Veeam Backup for Salesforce on Salesforce AppExchange which eliminates the risk of losing Salesforce data and metadata due to human error, integration issues and other data loss scenarios.

This new solution from Veeam, enables organizations to deploy a backup environment either on-premises or in the cloud, providing access and control of Salesforce data and metadata. It also provides powerful, rapid-recovery capabilities for IT departments and Salesforce administrators, including granular and bulk data recovery of Salesforce records, hierarchies, fields, files and metadata. This new offering builds on the success of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, extending Veeam’s enterprise-grade platform to another industry-leading SaaS environment.

Whether a mistake with a script, data loader or an integration issue, the simple and easy-to-use user interface (UI) of Veeam Backup for Salesforce helps users resolve issues and retrieve data in just a few clicks — without executing additional backups, running long, full-backup comparisons or causing duplicates.

Majority of IT professionals acknowledge that the most important reason to protect Salesforce data is the potential for a bad import or ingest of data

Key capabilities of Veeam Backup for Salesforce include:

  • Salesforce native: Purpose-built to create backups and restore Salesforce data and metadata
  • Fast and flexible recovery: Restore Salesforce records, hierarchies, fields, files and metadata
  • Secure data: Run a backup environment anywhere — on-premises or in the cloud (AWS, Azure, etc.)
  • Custom scheduling: Set granular backup schedules and retention settings at the object level
  • Simplified management: Manage several Salesforce instances from one console
  • Incremental changes: Continuously create backups with incremental sync and flexible scheduling for Salesforce data
  • Simple and easy-to-use UI: Run backup policies and restore jobs in minutes
  • See and compare: See versions of records and metadata and quickly compare with production
  • Restore hierarchy: Granularly restore linked objects to any record, including parent/child records

Conducted on Veeam’s behalf by an independent research firm, the Veeam Salesforce Protection Trends Report 2022 surveyed 800 unbiased IT leaders and implementers around the world. This report found that the majority of IT professionals acknowledge that the most important reason to protect Salesforce data is the potential for a bad import or ingest of data. The remaining reasons are consistent with the same breadth of risks that face other IT platforms, including: best practices and regulatory mandates, cyber security concerns and errors caused by users, the application(s) or the data repositories (corruption).
