Backup FAQs
Salesforce offers a Data Recovery Service that costs $10,000. It takes several weeks for Salesforce to send you CSVs of whatever data they’ve salvaged. You need to restore the data from these raw files. No metadata is recovered. The Data Recovery Service was retired for a time, as Salesforce doesn’t want its customers to rely on it.
Small amounts of deleted data may be recoverable from the Recycle Bin in Salesforce. But data is removed from the Recycle Bin when it’s full or after 15 days. Other native tools each have their own shortcomings.
Since metadata represents all of the Salesforce customizations that are unique to your business, it needs to be protected. Metadata often needs to be restored before data can be restored. And permissions metadata types control access to sensitive data.
Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. Backups are encrypted with a ‘per customer key’. You can delete your encryption key at any time to make your backup data completely irretrievable. We also support bring your own key (BYOK) for backups.
There’s no storage limit.
You can customize your retention policy when you set up a backup job. Gearset suggests a 7-year retention period by default which matches the most common compliance requirements.
