How does Flosum Backup & Archive protect Salesforce data?

Flosum Backup & Archive protects Salesforce data with automated, policy-aligned backups, granular recovery, metadata coverage, encrypted storage, and long-term archiving. It helps enterprises prevent data loss, recover quickly, and maintain business continuity when records, files, metadata, or relationships are changed, corrupted, or deleted.

Does Salesforce automatically back up my data?

Salesforce provides native data protection options, but enterprise teams often need more control, automation, retention, metadata coverage, recovery precision, and compliance support than basic backup capabilities provide. Flosum gives organizations a Salesforce-aware backup and archive solution built for complex, high-risk environments.

How often should Salesforce data be backed up?

Salesforce data should be backed up based on business risk, data change frequency, compliance requirements, and recovery expectations. For many enterprises, that means scheduled, incremental, on-demand, and policy-driven backups. Flosum supports continuous protection for critical data and automated backup workflows aligned to business needs.

Can Flosum back up Salesforce metadata?

Yes. Flosum supports granular metadata backup along with Salesforce data, files, attachments, and complex object relationships. This helps teams recover not only records, but also the structure, configuration, and business logic that keep Salesforce running correctly.

How does Salesforce backup and recovery work with Flosum?

Flosum creates secure backups of Salesforce data, metadata, files, attachments, and relationships, then gives teams precise recovery options when something goes wrong. Teams can restore exactly what the business needs, from a single record to a full org, without unnecessary overrecovery or extended downtime.

Can Flosum restore deleted or corrupted Salesforce data?

Yes. Flosum helps teams identify where corruption began and restore clean data quickly. Its granular recovery capabilities allow organizations to recover specific records, fields, objects, files, metadata, or larger Salesforce environments with minimal disruption.

How long does it take to recover Salesforce data from a backup?

Recovery time depends on the scope of the restore, the amount of data, and the complexity of relationships involved. Flosum is designed for fast, targeted recovery, helping teams pinpoint the right recovery point and restore only what is needed to reduce downtime and business disruption.

What Salesforce data can Flosum protect?

Flosum can protect Salesforce records, metadata, files, attachments, object relationships, configurations, and business-critical data across Salesforce environments. This gives enterprises complete environment resilience instead of partial backup coverage.

How does Flosum archive Salesforce data?

Flosum uses policy-driven archiving and retention controls to help teams move inactive Salesforce data into secure, accessible storage. Archived data can be retrieved when needed, helping organizations reduce active storage overhead without losing visibility or control.

Can Flosum perform automatic Salesforce backups?

Yes. Flosum supports scheduled, on-demand, and incremental backups, helping teams automate Salesforce data protection and reduce the risk of manual backup gaps.

Why should enterprises back up Salesforce data?

Salesforce data loss is not just an IT problem. It can impact revenue, compliance, operations, customer trust, and business continuity. A dedicated Salesforce backup and recovery solution helps enterprises recover quickly from accidental deletion, corruption, failed integrations, user error, cyber incidents, and release issues.

Is Salesforce backup free?

Basic native or manual options may be available, but enterprise-grade Salesforce backup typically requires a dedicated solution with automated backups, metadata protection, granular restore, audit trails, compliance controls, and long-term retention. Flosum is built for organizations where data loss is not an option.

How is Flosum different from other Salesforce backup tools?

Flosum combines Salesforce-aware backup, granular restore, metadata protection, archiving, compliance controls, encrypted storage, flexible key management, and low-impact processing in one enterprise platform. It is optimized for complex orgs, high data volumes, strict compliance requirements, and predictable pricing.

Does Flosum reduce API impact during backups?

Yes. Flosum is designed for low-impact processing that minimizes API consumption and operational disruption, even in large Salesforce environments with high data volumes.

How quickly can teams get started with Flosum Backup & Archive?

Teams can get started quickly with guided workflows, unified backup, restore, and archive management, and support from Flosum experts. The platform is designed to reduce manual effort and help enterprises protect Salesforce data without adding unnecessary operational complexity.

For Own Backup customers facing renewal

Own is now Salesforce.
Your backup no
longer is independent
— Flosum still is.

Own Backup is now Salesforce Backup & Recover. The product looks the same — the terms behind it don't. Flosum is the fully independent alternative, built exclusively for Salesforce, with flat pricing you can put in a budget and hold.

independent of Salesforce — the vendor holding your safety net stands apart from the platform

Three things changed when Salesforce acquired Own

None of them were announced with a press release. All of them show up at renewal.

01 — Machine-scale risk

Agentforce raises the stakes

AI agents act inside your org on their own. Change happens at machine scale — a single error can ripple through thousands of records before anyone notices. Salesforce's own backup was never built for that era.

02 — Pricing works against you

Per-user became usage-based

Own was priced per user — simple and predictable. Renewals now bill on how much data you store. AI creates data at machine scale, and your backup bill grows right along with it.

03 — Independence is gone

The fox guards the henhouse

A backup only counts when the vendor stands apart from the platform it protects. Today one company builds the AI, runs the platform, and holds your safety net. For years, Salesforce itself recommended independent backup.

Flosum is the clean way out

Switching backup vendors sounds risky. We designed the transition so you're protected every
single day of it.

Fully independent

Your safety net stands apart from Salesforce — the way Salesforce
itself used to recommend.

Flat, predictable pricing

One number you can budget and hold — no matter how fast
Agentforce grows your data.

Contract buyout

We buy out your remaining Own contract, so timing is never the
reason to stay.

Side-by-side transition

Both systems run in parallel until you've fully switched — zero
unprotected days.

Proof, not promises

See exactly what recovery looks like before you ever sign anything.

Trusted at scale

Used by some of the largest enterprises and federal agencies on Salesforce — including GovCloud and GovCloud+ instances.

Compliance-ready

Policy-based retention aligned to SOX, HIPAA, GDPR and FINRA, with tamper-proof, audit-ready restore histories.

Built for AgentForce

Built exclusively for Salesforce and ready for machine-scale change — full and incremental backups, on demand or automated.

“Our team was happy to hear Flosum supports GDPR, and the right to be forgotten on our near-term roadmap. The Enterprise Architect was happy that Flosum restores will be a rollback restore with the Composite Backup.”

Eoghan Scully, Salesforce Technical Architect, Honda Canada

★★★★★

“Flosum Backup & Archive gave us clear instructions with a step-by-step guided workflow. We removed data on a regular basis with the daily restoration process. We also used the weekly backup function, which is to the level of depth to which we can actually store information. Everything went flawlessly.”

Rajith Medagani, Director of Brand Support Solutions, Hilton

★★★★★

“Flosum ticked all of our boxes for what we needed from a Data backup and recovery solution provider and was a lot cheaper than the Own Backup solution.”

Troy Rios, Salesforce Architect, Everpay

A 30-minute conversation covers your current Own renewal quote, what a flat Flosum number looks
like for your org, and how the contract buyout and side-by-side transition work. It costs you nothing —
and it could save you a great deal.

Questions we hear from Own customers

We're mid-contract with Own. Do we have to wait it out?

No. Flosum buys out your remaining Own contract, so the switch can happen on your timeline — not your renewal date's.

Are we unprotected during the migration?

No. We run both systems side by side until you have fully switched, so you're covered every single day of the transition.

How is Flosum priced?

Flat and constant — a number you can put in a budget and hold, no matter how fast your data grows. No usage-based surprises at renewal.

Is Flosum ready for Agentforce-scale change?

Yes. Flosum is built exclusively for Salesforce and designed for machine-scale change — automated full and incremental backups with granular, point-in-time restore for both data and metadata.
