Overview
Salesforce integration with Druva inSync ensures backup, recovery, and protection of Salesforce data. Once integrated, Salesforce administrators get an independent access to a unified data protection platform to back up, archive, manage, and view the data availability from the Salesforce UI. Moreover, Druva inSync and Salesforce administrators can work independently without having to switch between Druva inSync and Salesforce UIs.
Integrating Salesforce with Druva inSync presents the following benefits:
- Object Level Backup and Restore
- Time-indexed snapshots
- Direct access and visibility of Salesforce data down to the object level, including custom objects from third-party applications
- Bulk download and restore
- Data granularity for review, comparison, and restore
- Complete Metadata Backup and Restore
- Bulk and selective download and restore of Salesforce metadata
- Granular view of metadata items for review, comparison, and selective download and restore
- Dedicated Salesforce Dashboard:
- Single view directly from within Salesforce (inSync App for Salesforce) for administrators to manage backup policies
- Object level restore
- Configuration of alerts as needed
Druva inSync supports unlimited retention of data backed up from Salesforce. Since Druva inSync does not apply any compaction policies on Salesforce backups, the data can reside permanently on Druva Cloud storage and remain available for restore and download.
inSync Cloud administrator can configure different Salesforce organizations (orgs), as listed in the Supported Cloud Apps Editions, for backup in the inSync Management Console. Salesforce App is automatically installed for the configured organizations in the Salesforce environment. Salesforce administrators can access the Salesforce App from the app menu or from the app launcher.
Using Salesforce App, Salesforce administrators can
- Manually back up the Salesforce data
- Restore data selectively or in bulk
- Download data selectively or in bulk
- Restore to a different org (cross-org restore)
- Restore specific records using a CSV file
