Veeam announces Veeam Backup for Salesforce on Salesforce AppExchange

Veeam® Software, the Modern Data Protection company, has announced the release of the NEW Veeam Backup for Salesforce on the Salesforce AppExchange, which eliminates the risk of losing Salesforce data and metadata due to human error, integration issues, or other data loss scenarios.

Veeam Backup for Salesforce

This new solution from Veeam, a market leader in Modern Data Protection, allows organizations to deploy a backup environment on-premises or in the cloud, providing access to and control over Salesforce data and metadata. It also provides IT departments and Salesforce administrators with powerful, rapid-recovery capabilities, such as granular and bulk data recovery of Salesforce records, hierarchies, fields, files, and metadata. This new offering extends Veeam’s enterprise-grade platform to another industry-leading SaaS environment, building on the success of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.

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

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

The Veeam Salesforce Protection Trends Report 2022, conducted on Veeam’s behalf by an independent research firm, surveyed 800 unbiased IT leaders and implementers from around the world. According to this report, the majority of IT professionals believe that the most important reason to protect Salesforce data is the possibility of a bad data import or ingest. The remaining reasons are consistent with the same range of risks that other IT platforms face, such as best practices and regulatory mandates, cyber security concerns, and errors caused by users, application(s), or data repositories.

Veeam is also making this solution available for free: Veeam Backup for Salesforce Community Edition. For organizations with 50 or fewer Salesforce user licenses, Community Edition offers fully functional FREE backup and recovery of Salesforce data.
