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! :)
1 voteWe've added friendly names to data backup runs! 🎉
Please get in touch if there's any specific places you would like us to display this friendly name in place of timestamps.

Restore/export certain fields on objects
We (the user) would like to be able to restore data, but only select certain fields to be restored.
Usecase:
A business user triggers some automation that modifies a field or specific fields on a large number of records that should not have been modified. In the meantime, other fields may have been modified that were correctly modified. We would want to restore a set of records from a specific backup, but only the specific fields that should not have been modified.5 votesYou can now select which fields you would like to restore, via the "Restore changed fields within <object name>". Example in the attached image.

Allow users with owner role to modify and start backups
Allow designated users the ability to modify and start backups without being the owner of the connected org or the person who created the backup.
5 votesYou can now specify other team members to have permissions to manage and start backup jobs they don’t own.
The current owner of the backup job will need to edit the current job settings, go to the new ‘Permissions’ tab and choose the team member and level of access that you’d like to grant them to manage your backup job.

Export subset of data in data backup
I would like to be able to filter what I want to export from a data backup, since I probably won't need everything from the database. This would make the downloading more manageable.
Ex: Export only ContactID and Email fields from Contact object from a specific backup.
(Restore data seems to allow this, but in this specific case I needed to run some checks in Excel since I couldn't just update everything with the old data)
3 votesYou can now select the object(s) to export for a particular backup run.
Simply go to the backup history for a job, and for a backup run, choose the ‘Download data’ option in the context menu to choose the subset of data that you’d like to export.
