Restoring Standards and Custom objects (Structured data)
You can use this procedure to restore the standard and custom objects.
See About the Salesforce Data, Metadata, and CRM Content restore.
See Salesforce Objects not supported for restore.
See Limitations of Salesforce Data restore.
To restore Standards and Custom objects (Structured data)
- Access the Veritas Alta SaaS Protection Administration portal.
- On the home page, click Content.
- On the Content page, do the following:
From the upper left drop-down list, select the Salesforce Data Stor that contains backup of your organization.
The associated recovery points are available in the drop-down list next to the selected Stor.
By default, the latest restore point is selected. You can select the required restore point from the drop-down list if you need to restore data from a previous restore point.
Note:
Always select the restore point marked with a green tick as it indicates that the corresponding backup job is completed successfully, without any error.
Note:
To set the other restore point as the default one, click the restore points drop-down list > Specific restore point link > on the Set to specific restore point page, select the restore point to be set as default, and then click Set.
The left pane lists all objects, and the right pane lists the records within the selected object.
- On the left pane, select the object you want to restore.
Note:
You can filter the list to view specific objects and their records using the Filter by name field.
Note:
You can select the All check box to view all objects (including non-restorable objects).
- Click Restore at the upper right of the page.
After you click Restore, you are directed to the Restore page that displays the following details:
Restore Mode field
This section displays the value as Data. As you have initiated data restore.
Restore point field
This section displays the recovery point that you have selected using step 3.
If you want to restore the data from other restore point, select the required one from the drop-down list.
Restore to Salesforce organization field
This section displays the export services configured for different Salesforce organizations. By default, the same organization to which the data belongs is selected.
In case you want to restore the data to another Salesforce organization, select the export services of another organization from the drop-down list.
Refer to the Sandbox seeding topic in the See About the Salesforce Data, Metadata, and CRM Content restore.
- From the Restore type section, click Object.
By default, the object that is selected on the Content page (step 4) is displayed in the Object drop-down list.
If you want to change the object, click the drop-down list and select the required one.
- (Optional) Expand the Advanced options options and select the Overwrite existing records check box to overwrite the content at the target organization.
If the check box is selected, the restore updates existing records and their fields in the target Salesforce organization with the records and field values captured in the selected restore point.
If this check box is not selected, the restore of the existing records is skipped.
Note:
The records are compared using the ID field.
- Click Next.
All records are displayed.
- Click Next.
During this step, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection analyzes and prepares a list of nested child records related to the selected parent records for restoration. This phase identifies all related records, including Files, Attachments, and Documents associated with the parent records selected for the restore.
In Salesforce, when a parent record is deleted, nested child object records often get deleted too due to cascade delete operations. The Analyze phase addresses this by identifying all related records from the backup and selecting them for the restore by default.
The duration of the restore process may vary depending on the number and size of records and related nested child objects. At the end of the Analyze phase, all identified records for restoration are available for preview.
This allows you to see which additional records will be restored alongside the selected parent object records. If the analyzed records are not satisfactory, you can abandon the restore at this stage.
- Click Next.
- On the Email notifications page, enter the email addresses of the users who need to be notified on the completion of the restore operation.
- Click Next.
- Verify the details and click Restore.
In case if you choose not to wait for the Analyze phase to finish, the restore operation gets queued and starts once the Analyzed operation is finished.
Depending upon the amount of the data Analyzed for the restore, the time required for restore operation can vary.
After the restore is initiated, you can go to the Restore dashboard to view the restore progress.
See Restore job statuses.
- Navigate to the destination Salesforce organization to confirm that the restore is completed successfully.
