With this option you can either backup the data on a local PC or even think about using cloud services like Amazon Web Service (AWS). But once setup, the whole process can be automated to run on a daily basis. This will involve some time and effort on your part to set this up.

If weekly backup is not acceptable, then you can schedule a daily export using Apex Data Loader.

In fact there is no reason why this should not be turned on for any Salesforce production org With this option you will have at least a weekly or monthly backup depending on your Salesforce edition.

The simplest option is to turn on the Salesforce data export service.

Here are the options that you can choose from The only option to “undo” changes is to have a CSV backup and either update records from that CSV backup or delete current records and re-insert from CSV.Īs an Administrator if you are not backing up your data on a periodic basis, then this is a good time to rethink about it. While recycle bin and IsDeleted = TRUE are options for “undeleting” the data, it won’t help if you need to “undo” changes.

Any relationship (master-detail, lookup) will need to be re-established using Salesforce record IDs or external IDs.So this service is not like you will have your data back directly in your Salesforce org Salesforce will give you a set of CSV files which you will then need to import in your Salesforce org using any import tools.

This process may take up to 15 business days.

Data can be recovered up to 1 month back from the current date for sandbox instance.

Data can be recovered up to 3 months back from the current date for production instance.

You can specify the date/time up to which the data should be recovered.

This is NOT FREE and NOT CHEAP – there is a minimum charge of USD 10K.

And here is what you should know before you take this route:

However if any of the above is not an option, then the last resort that you can turn to is to contact to recover your data.

If you have taken any CSV backup (either manually or through Salesforce’s data export option), then you can restore the records from the CSV backup using data loader.

You can run a SOQL query with “IsDeleted = TRUE ALL ROWS” and see if you are able to view the deleted data and recover from here.

Once the records are deleted, it is stored in recycle bin for 15 days

If the data is deleted, then you can restore (undelete) the data from the recycle bin (unless of course you have hard deleted it or emptied the recycle bin).

If the data is accidentally deleted in Salesforce or is mass updated wrongly (during data import with update or upsert operation or through an Apex program) then what are the different options that you can have to recover your data or undo the changes?
