Odaseva and SalesforceBen recently teamed up to host a webinar about our favorite topic\u2026. Salesforce backup and restore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can watch the webinar on-demand here<\/a>, or continue reading for a recap of the session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consideration 1: Why having a Salesforce backup and restore solution is important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having a backup and restore solution is important because Salesforce data is critical and therefore must be protected against loss or corruption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider what Salesforce data is important to your organization – how the loss of that data would impact your business? For example your Salesforce data likely helps you achieve a unified view of your customers and how they interact with your organization. The loss of that information would severely limit your ability to meaningfully interact with your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you didn’t know that your organization is responsible for the data stored within Salesforce, <\/strong>you’re not alone. A recent ESG research report found that 35% of organizations believe that Salesforce is responsible for data backups. They’re wrong. Salesforce is only<\/strong> responsible for securing their cloud, and you are responsible for your data stored within Salesforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of this confusion comes from the fact that many organizations are confusing the availability of the SaaS<\/strong> service itself, with the recoverability of the data<\/strong> that it holds.\u00a0This confusion can have serious business consequences if a data loss or corruption event compromises critical Salesforce data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how vulnerable is your Salesforce data? It depends on the organization, but there are three main sources of vulnerabilities to consider: internal, external, and provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top causes of data loss for SaaS-based applications according to an ESG research report is a service outage\/unavailability causing data destruction or corruption, closely followed by accidental deletion. The full breakdown is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know why having a Salesforce backup and restore solution is important. So what are your options for finding one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
