Backup & Restore

Create backups of supported Salesforce org metadata and records, and restore them when you need to recover.

Backups capture a known-good state of your Salesforce org so you can recover metadata and records if something is lost or changed unexpectedly. Restore brings that captured state back when you need it.

Why backups matter

Salesforce has no native one-click recovery for many changes, so a deliberate backup is often the difference between a quick restore and a manual rebuild. Backups complement release-level rollback, which recovers the specific changes a deployment made.

Restore when you need it

  • Recover supported org metadata and records from a backup.
  • Use backups alongside rollback: rollback reverses a release, backups protect against broader data loss.
  • Keep in mind that data and already-deleted metadata are harder to reverse cleanly, so recovery for those needs extra care.
