  1. backup expiration

    For compliance purposes I'd like to request an option to list the data backup expiration date. We are able to choose how long to retain the backup, but I do not see a place that lists when the backup is set to expire.

  2. Add the option to schedule weekly, monthly and yearly backups

    To meet our backup compliance requirements I'd like to suggest an option to schedule weekly, monthly, and yearly backups to go along with the daily backup option that is currently available. This way, we could setup multiple backup tasks with different retention.

    Thanks

  3. Ability to test restoring of backup data periodically

    It will be nice to have option to automate and test restoring of backup data periodically into a sandbox. Since it is going to be restoring production data to sandbox, there should be options to restore chunk of production data (due to the storage limitation with sandbox) and the metadata.

  5. Enable source control as source/target in Data Deployments

    It would be great if we could add source control as an option for Data Deployments, this will be useful in cases where we want to backup copies of CPQ record data which manage configurations to our source control repository.

  6. Allow searching for specific fields in backups

    Backups are currently only helpful if we know when an object was changed or deleted. However, we often run into an issue where an object was changed an unknown time ago, we have to spend a lengthy amount of time searching through backups. This is a very, very tedious process as you can't open backup runs in new tabs, so you have to click the link, go back, reset the date filters, and find where you left off. If we could use search criteria to filter data and metadata changes, that would help tremendously!

  7. Ability to filter records on field "ischanged" when doing a data backup comparison.

    Instead of just being able to filter on field values when comparing a data backup. Give the user the ability to filter on a certain field being changed.

  8. API to export backup to S3 for data warehousing/datalake

    A lot of time we would like to have data out of SF not just for backup purposes but for data analytical purposes as well. Ownbackup currently has this functionality via APIs.

    https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/12146739/TzJuAxgY#0f1fc918-7616-4b58-8d52-0e8370f57d9b

    https://ownbackup-kb.magentrixcloud.com/articles/knowledgebase/Using-the-OwnBackup-API-5-6-2020

    If gearset has this, it would help us move to GS for all our SF problesms

  9. Record/file level filters for Backup jobs

  10. Allow retention policies to be set on individual core objects

    It would be useful to be able to set individual retention policies on core objects, rather than on the entire backup job. This is for an old org (c.10 years), ideally you'd be able to set differing retention policies on different objects; e.g accounts after 7 years but contacts after 5 years.

  11. Force a full production backup, and forbid its deletion

    I was not able to buy this tool because to me it was a blocker that we have the right to delete the production backup.
    I may agree that the we don't force for a full backup, but leaving the option to descope tables is equivalent as not backing up.
    Force at least an initial configuration and allow only to add more scope to the backup, but never to reduce it or delete without contacting your support who should get an authorization from more than one person on the client side.

    If I'm an admin at salesforce, and an admin…

  13. Production/Sandbox Backup job color

    The backup job color (or a colored tag) should be introduced so you can clearly see which backup job is for Production and which is for a Sandbox.

    At the moment they all look the same and you have to make sure you are clicking on the correct one, only by looking at the username to understand if it is a Production org or not.

    This is confusing and risky

  14. Store List of Objects Downloaded in Data Download History

    Given that the actual download files for Data Download expire after a short amount of time (which is completely logical), it would be beneficial to be able to know what objects were included in the data downloaded, and potentially any filters used.

    The main reason behind this is from a security stand point, if an employee with access were to go rouge and decide to download sensitive data to sell/take with them, there is no way of telling what kind of data they may have if you were to miss the window of the backup being available.

  15. Ability to Name a Backup Run

    It would be great if you could name a backup run.

    Sometimes when backing up its handy to label in in case it was done for example before a deployment or large data load. Then this can be identified in the future or to refer back to it. Otherwise you need to remember the date and times! :)

  16. Ability to compare data between two backups

    It would be great if you could compare data between two backups. Currently you can only see what has changed since the last backup.

  19. Data backup history log export

    I would like to have the option to export a data backup history log for a specific period of time. E.g. for the last 60 days export in CSV or xls format following data:
    Started, Last updated, Status, Duration, Changed, New, Deleted.

    For internal and external audits we are required to provide a list of backup jobs run in specific periods with details.
