Salesforce data is vital to sales workflows and organizational success. Protecting your company’s records is a critical job and the sensitive nature of Salesforce data makes it quite appealing to cybercriminals. Perhaps even more worrisome is the reality that data loss and corruption often result from internal mistakes; incidents such as accidental deletion, overwrite errors, or mishandled metadata can all lead unintended data loss.
Salesforce is similar to other SaaS vendors in that their backup policy covers any errors that may occur on their side—not yours. Salesforce suggests, "It is important for Salesforce customers to develop a routine data backup strategy as part of their overall data management and security model." This is why having a system in place that can restore lost data is essential. Don't become another data loss statistic; start protecting your data today with Spanning Backup.

Your Salesforce data is vital to your organization. Don't make the mistake of waiting until it's too late — safeguard your data against loss or corruption with a quality Salesforce backup and recovery solution today.
Salesforce backup refers to the process of creating copies or replicas of data stored within the Salesforce platform to safeguard against data loss or corruption. Should Salesforce data be compromised for any reason, the backup data can be effortlessly restored within the organization's instance to facilitate uninterrupted business operations.
Salesforce does take certain steps to backup and protect data. However, it's essential to note that Salesforce's built-in data protection measures exist primarily to protect them from fault on their end and support their own disaster recovery interests. In addition, these backups may not be sufficient in all scenarios and do not include important information such as metadata.
While it may be possible to request and receive this data from Salesforce, the process is often lengthy and will most likely come with a hefty price tag. As such, Salesforce recommends "that you 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."
Yes. According to Salesforce’s adherence to the Shared Responsibility Model, customers are responsible for the backup and protection of their Salesforce data. Under this model, customers act as the “Controller” of their data, while Salesforce acts as the “Processor” of said data.
As processor, Salesforce assumes complete responsibility for application availability and provides extensive security measures to help keep your data safe. However, Salesforce is also obligated to add, delete or modify data as long as the request is authenticated by valid credentials. As a result, accidental, malicious or fraudulent deletions, in all cases, are the responsibility of the customer/controller.
For this reason, customers are encouraged to implement additional backup measures, such as Spanning Backup for Salesforce. Having a quality backup solution in place helps to ensure comprehensive and customized data protection, minimizing the risk of data loss and facilitating swift recovery in case of unforeseen events.
The Salesforce backup process begins with the initiation of a comprehensive backup of all data and metadata within your org. Following the initial full backup, Spanning performs daily, automated incremental backups to discover and capture newly modified or added data. For those seeking additional backups points, on-demand backups can be executed as frequently as desired.
Each backup is stored as a distinct point-in-time snapshot in your designated backup storage (hosted on the Amazon Web Services cloud). Spanning Backup for Salesforce offers unlimited retention and versions, allowing you to preserve as many backup points as you see fit.
In the event of data loss or compromise, a swift and simplified recovery process will have your data restored and available in no time. Spanning provides a variety of features facilitating the location and recovery of essential data to ensure the efficient restoration of your org.
