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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Allow backup job permissions to be control by Roles
Backup permissions are separate from the Roles, causing duplicate permission maintenance. Please allow backups to use Roles instead

Ability to download/restore data in bulk
We deleted 40 000 records, now we want to download data from the backup for all of them. I can filter them, select for which I want to get it and download, the challenge is, that only 500 records are loaded by default and I can load more in a batch of 500. A lot of clicking to see all of them.

disable the ability to delete backups to prevent malicious actors and accidental damage
A lot of backup providers offer the ability to disable the ability to delete backups. This provides protection for 2 scenarios:
A hacker compromises an administrator account and uses this access to remove backups to prevent recovery after ransomware or other attack
An administrator accidentally deletes backups that are required
If there is a legitimate use case for backups to be deleted, the ability to delete can be temporarily turned on but only by contacting support and only with the confirmation of 2 or more admins.

Record/file level filters for Backup jobs
Allow Backup job filters to be configured for specific records/files rather than entire objects.

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

Apply masking of certain data across backups GDPR compliance
It would be great if records that were marked with certain GDPR attributes, possibly 'GDPR Removal = TRUE' that the backups could apply arbitrary data masking across all historical backups for email and phone number fields

Allow bulk export of selected objects in selected historical data backups
It would be great to export all, or a selected timeframe, of data backups for a job. I understand this would be a large volume of data so selecting by object would be great.
For example, if there is a data backup for all objects that runs daily, I'd like to select the Account object and select a backup timeframe of 1/1/2020 - 12/31/2020 to export a .zip folder of 365 Account.csv files.

Pulling object dependencies during data backup
A cool feature would be the ability for Data backup to have the ability to select object dependencies when you select a particular object for instances where you want to backup a subset of data and not just your entire org

Limit file size for download of Data backup Snapshots
When trying to pull a complete snapshot of a previous history databackup (including files) the file generated can be quite large (> 500GB). This is difficult to download using traditional methods.
Need a way to have the file(s) broken down into small chucks (500mb to 1gb in size) [i.e batched] so thats is more manageable to download.1 vote -
export
Ability to queue up multiple exports. As part of internal processes we are looking to download the final Org snapshots from the end of FY25. We have 10 prod orgs being backed up. Seems like we can only have one export job running at a time.
Please add the ability to queue up the backups.1 vote -
During Data Deployments, allow us to relate records to the User using an External ID instead of the Email and Profile.Name.
During Data Deployments, allow us to relate records to the User using an External ID instead of the Email and Profile.Name. In sandboxes, the email address is changed. It's frustrating, for me at least, to change many email addresses so I can use the current process of linking the User Email and Profile.Name. It would be much simpler to be able to use an External ID.

Ability to bulk download filtered records from Archived Data
We Archived over 50GB of data and business wanted to get a list of leads from the last 6 months. There were over 30,000 records and I had to click thru every page, let the page load before I could download them all. There were over 60 pages to click thru. One click button to download them all would a time saver.

Create Templates for Data Backups
During creation of Data Backups some requirement needs to be met across all jobs, so would be very good if we could replicate those requirements through a data back templae.
In my example I cannot backup files, attachments, documents, etc, so I need to create a job using the recommended selection, then edit the selection removing the objects I don`t want and replicate this same process across all the existing and new jobs.1 vote
