On-Premises Salesforce Backup of Data & Metadata

Unless your business has a Salesforce backup strategy in place, this weekend may have been a little messy.... My mom asked me to post a quick blurb about her work since she can help!

What Capstorm does:

Backup Salesforce to an on-premises or cloud based relational database.
Restore records and metadata from the backup to Salesforce production or sandbox.

Why does this matter?

If there is ever a time that you are locked out of Salesforce, for any reason, the data is still available because the backup is kept locally on your servers. Plus, metadata is also backed up and versioned, so you can restore a prior version of metadata from the backup. A few more things you can do in addition to backing up Salesforce...

Of course, you can try for free!

Something to consider... if you would like to read more...

Thank you for reading! My mom promised that she would take me out for an ice cream as a "thank you" for promoting her work. Now, I just have to go find that baby brother of mine... I think he's hiding.

Process Automation Specialist Superbadge - 5

A project with Daddy: My favorite daily process! Making dinner for Mom! Tonight's challenge involves the creation of two processes. Processes. Have you guessed the theme of the photos that go along with the Trailhead - Process Automation Specialist Superbadge series?They are a few of my favorite day to day processes! You, my amazing reader, get more than tips for a Salesforce Superbadge. You also get personal insight into the life of a Trailhead Baby! I hope that you feel inspired. Process Builder sketch Last night, I drew a rough sketch of my process: Was it pretty? No. Did it help? Yes! The sketch allowed me to organize all of the instructions into a reasonable order before I started clicking. It also removed the approval steps from Process Builder and highlighted (with *'s) the prerequisite items to building my process. * Email Alerts I needed the Email Alerts set up before I could create either the process or ...

Lightning Experience Specialist Superbadge - 8

The best present? Santa says that I am getting a little brother in April! Let's import some data! It's simple to mass delete the records if there are inserted incorrectly - and you have me to help! The goal with this post is to move beyond the "how" of data import and explain the "why." The challenge makes more sense when you think about the relationships between the objects. I'll explain more below. First: A confession I, the Trailhead Baby, am not a perfect Salesforce admin. Even though I completed this entire Superbadge in 2017, I still messed up the data import badly enough that I had to mass delete all of my records and start over. Quick tip: It may help to delete the existing data before you start the import. This way, when you extract recordID's, you only extract the ID's of the records that you have already imported vs. the records that were already in the Trailhead Playground by default. You can use many da...

Security Superbadge -2

Challenge 2: Record-Level Security Settings I created the three user profiles last time, so the starting point tonight was the next tier of security - roles. I set up the roles per the provided org chart, making sure to follow the opportunity restrictions from the directions. Next, I set up the required user and assigned her to the correct profile and role. Hint: Use a real email address for Samantha Cordero. You will need to login as Samantha in order to create an opportunity for her. While you are at it, go ahead and login to Salesforce1 as Samantha. Once Salesforce1 is enabled, you can set up the appropriate permissions. You may want to take take a peek at a Salesforce Knowledge Article . Me - as a Project Manager. Next, I addressed the special role - Project Managers Project Managers require a role, permission set, and a sharing rule. Whew! For the final step, I set up the remaining sharing rules in ...
