Backup and recovery for Salesforce
Eliminate data loss repercussions: Get all your data back in an instant with automated daily backups, unlimited storage, and fast recovery
Why back up Salesforce?
Shared responsibility
Salesforce isn’t responsible for your lost data. They say "keep a regular backup of your data and to do a manual point-in-time backup before you proceed with any major data project.”
Accidental deletions
70% of data loss is from human error. Users and administrators can delete or modify large amounts of data. Many of these changes are not reversible and data can be lost without a backup.
Native tools fall short
Salesforce’s native tools aren’t designed for seamless and comprehensive backup of your data and metadata. They either serve a single task or lack the flexibility and automation needed for efficient backup and recovery – making data protection manual and time consuming.
Top benefits
Speed
Time is a key factor in data recovery. Our search makes it easy to find, preview, and restore the data you need from any time across snapshots.
Granular restore
Recover exactly what you need - specific records, fields and metadata – directly into your production or sandbox environments. With Keepit’s hot storage there is no waiting and no wasted time.
Security
Your automated daily backups are safely stored in an immutable format, making encryption or deletion impossible, meaning you’re safe from ransomware.

Read the full reviewHow Keepit helps you
Most alternative cloud backup solutions store your backed-up data on the same public cloud infrastructure that hosts your primary data, which potentially exposes your company to several risks.
With Keepit, your company’s backup data is stored on an independent cloud infrastructure in two mirrored data centers in the data center region of your choice, ensuring data availability and sovereignty.
Building our own independent cloud allows Keepit to manage supply chain risks and provides tremendous control over costs, which enables us to offer unlimited hot storage and predictable “all-in” pricing.
Data recovery is made easy and fast with Keepit. Choose a specific point in time and roll back all data objects, metadata, files, and attachments in one go.
Restore and recover capabilities:
- In-place restore of records and metadata
- Restore records to a different environment
- Restore multiple records in bulk along with their related records
- Restore only specific fields of records
- Anonymize fields with dummy data
- Download records in JSON or CSV files
- Download files and attachments in original format
- Securely share records, files and attachments with public links
Keep your production data safe with the ability to backup and restore data from your production environment to your sandbox.
Test and deploy code confidently without the risk of crashing your production data.
You can also anonymize data in your sandbox. This prevents exposure of sensitive data to unauthorized individuals, whether inside or outside of your organization.
Get started in few minutes
Get started and configure your first backup in just a few minutes. Once deployed, it is a set-and-forget backup solution that runs reliantly in the background, so you can focus on other tasks.
Intuitive user interface
The user interface is simple, intuitive, and easy to use. No training is needed, saving you time and skilled technical resources.
API-first
You can integrate Keepit with your existing systems thanks to our API-first approach.
Audit Logs. Track any user activity inside the Keepit platform, allowing you to monitor, review, and investigate any potential breaches.
Job Monitor. Detect abnormalities in the job monitor and discover changes on a snapshot basis as well as the number of changes made.
Data Sovereignty. Keepit operates its own data centers in multiple regions globally, helping you meet sovereignty requirements.
The Right to be Forgotten. Stay fully compliant with GDPR by preventing data from being previewed, downloaded, and restored to your production database.
Security Controls. Manage who has access to data and what permissions they have with granular Role Based Access Controls (RBAC) and ensure strong authentication with MFA and SSO.
The Keepit infrastructure runs on software that was designed and built from the ground up by our team.
Blockchain-like Merkle tree structure
We created a uniquely powerful architecture that employs a blockchain-like Merkle tree structure that allows you to store data in an immutable format to prevent attackers from manipulating your backups so you can recover quickly with uncompromised backups.
"Incremental forever"
The architecture also employs an innovative “incremental forever” approach that delivers performance and cost benefits such as unlimited hot storage, no data tiering, unlimited archiving, and no snapshot expiration. These benefits would simply not be possible to provide on general-purpose storage services.

Frequently asked questions
No. Salesforce does not take responsibility and cannot guarantee that you get 100% of your data back in case of data loss. On Salesforce’s own website, they state: “It is recommended that you keep a regular backup of your data and to do a manual point-in-time backup before you proceed with any major data project within your organization.”
Many organizations use Salesforce to manage their sales cycle and customer relations. Most of the record data is essential for business continuity and would be disastrous to lose. Salesforce does not protect you if you lose data due to human error, ransomware, or other outage scenarios. To avoid data loss, Salesforce recommends investing in a third-party backup and recovery service.
