In today's always-on business environment, the cost of Salesforce data loss can be staggering—from lost revenue and productivity to serious compliance violations. Whether caused by human error, rogue integrations, system failures, or cyberattacks, data loss is a very real threat to enterprises of all sizes.

That’s why Flosum Backup & Archive was built: to offer Salesforce users a better way to protect and recover their data—quickly, reliably, and securely. In this blog post, we’ll cover how Flosum Backup & Archive helps you protect your Salesforce data so you don’t lose a single important thing.

The Risk is Real: Why Salesforce Data Loss Happens

Salesforce is a powerful platform, but it wasn't built as a backup and recovery solution. Native tools like Data Export and Weekly Export are limited in granularity, recovery speed, and auditability. If your data is accidentally deleted, corrupted during a botched release, or lost during a migration, native options may not be enough to recover efficiently—or at all.

Many organizations rely heavily on manual processes or fragmented tools to back up data, which increases the risk of failure during critical incidents. When seconds matter, being forced into a full-dataset rollback or manual patchwork recovery isn’t just frustrating. It’s costly.

Flosum Changes the Game: Continuous, Composite Backup

With Flosum Backup & Archive, your data is continuously protected with automated, API-efficient composite backups that capture changes at the field and record level. These backups are designed to run behind the scenes, without impacting performance, and can be scheduled as frequently as your organization needs—even hourly.

Unlike traditional full-backup methods that create bloated storage and slow down restore times, Flosum only stores the delta—meaning it backs up only the changes, not the entire dataset every time. This ensures storage efficiency while enabling near real-time protection.

Fast, Granular Recovery—When You Need It Most

One of the most powerful differentiators of Flosum is its granular, field-level recovery. Instead of rolling back your entire Salesforce environment, you can surgically restore exactly what’s needed:

• Accidentally deleted a contact’s email address but the rest of the record is still valid? Restore just that field.
  
  
• Encountered data corruption from an automation or integration? Pinpoint and fix only the affected records.
  
  
• Need to roll back a specific change without losing subsequent updates? Use intelligent merge capabilities to preserve recent activity while restoring what was lost.
  

This level of control means less downtime, less manual cleanup, and a significantly faster recovery time, so your teams can get back to work in minutes, not days.

Built for Compliance and Business Continuity

Regulated industries—from healthcare to finance to government—can’t afford to leave data recovery to chance. Flosum is purpose-built to support organizations that need tamper-proof archiving, strong encryption, self-hosted options, and full auditability to meet strict regulatory requirements (including GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and more).

With role-based access control (RBAC) and Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) encryption included by default (not as a pricey add-on), Flosum delivers enterprise-grade security at no extra cost. You also gain the flexibility to deploy your backup and archive solution your way—whether hosted by Flosum on AWS, attached to your cloud storage (Azure, GCP, AWS), or entirely self-hosted on-prem behind your own firewall.

This flexibility is especially critical for highly regulated sectors that require complete infrastructure control.
