Salesforce Backup

Salesforce admit that their data backup has some serious limitations, so they recommend backing up to a third-party backup to protect your data.

Protect your Salesforce data in under five minutes.

Salesforce Backup

Salesforce admits that their
built-in data backup has limitations

Salesforce is one of the most popular CRMs in the world, but they
aren’t great at protecting your critical data.

Salesforce themselves recommend that you should backup your
data using a third-party tool.

Why you need to
backup your Salesforce data

Accidental Deletion

Accidental Deletion

Salesforce’s Recycle Bin and version history offer only short-term protection. Once deleted data surpasses the retention window or is permanently removed, it’s unrecoverable without an external backup.

Retention Policy

Retention Policy Limits

Deleted Salesforce records are only stored for a limited period. Data that’s hard-deleted or older than this retention timeframe cannot be restored through Salesforce alone.

Malicious Employees

Malicious Employees

Insider risks are real. Employees with system access can intentionally delete or alter critical data such as customer records, deals, reports, and activity logs, often without immediate detection.

Ransomware/Viruses

Ransomware &
Malware

Though uncommon, ransomware or malware introduced via third-party integrations or user errors can encrypt or corrupt Salesforce data, making backups essential to recover swiftly.

Legal & Compliance

Legal & Compliance Requirements

Regulations like GDPR, FCA, and ISO often mandate long-term data retention. Native Salesforce tools may fall short in meeting these standards, risking costly compliance failures without a reliable backup.

Avoid Dependency

Avoid Over-Reliance on Salesforce

No platform is infallible. Outages, sync failures, accidental changes, or account issues can jeopardise your data. Having an independent backup ensures you maintain control and safeguard your business-critical information.
