Salesforce Backup and Recovery Software
Sesame Software gives mid-sized enterprise IT teams automated, compliance-ready Salesforce backup and recovery — with near real-time protection, point-in-time restore, and full audit trails. No manual processes, no data gaps, no guesswork.
Common assumption: "Salesforce protects our data automatically." It doesn't. Salesforce discontinued their data recovery service in 2020. Enterprise IT teams are solely responsible — and recovery without a proper backup solution can take weeks and cost thousands.
Get a personalized 30-minute demo built around your Salesforce environment. We'll walk through backup, restore, and compliance reporting for your team.

Why IT Teams Can't Afford to Wait
For mid-sized enterprise IT teams, Salesforce data loss isn't a hypothetical. Bad imports, rogue admin changes, failed integrations, and ransomware can wipe records in seconds.
Average enterprise cost when Salesforce data is unavailable. A single incident can run into hundreds of thousands before full recovery.
Nearly 9 in 10 organizations have experienced a data breach. Salesforce data is among the most valuable — and most targeted.
Without a tested recovery plan, ransomware leaves companies offline for weeks with no guarantee of getting everything back.
Per the 2024 IBM Cost of a Data Breach report. Regulatory fines, legal costs, and lost business compound fast without proper data protection.

Trusted by Enterprise IT Teams
"The Sesame Software tool was helpful during the recovery process. Although we deleted a few files, the tool made backup recovery easier. The support from the Sesame Software team was available whenever we needed it. Whenever a new field is created, it is automatically included for data retrieval and backup."
"Sesame Software makes backup and recovery convenient by generating daily and full backups, allowing you to restore data to any specific date and time. Since Salesforce's own backup and recovery features require a paid subscription, this extra functionality from Sesame Software is especially valuable."
"The out of the box features you get with Sesame Software — history tracking, logs, deleted records — are great to have. Loads run fast, keeps our downstream DB in sync with our Salesforce environment, and audits allow us to detect schema changes."
Salesforce Compliance Audit, Recovery, and Backup Control
Sesame Software's Salesforce backup and recovery platform is built for mid-market and enterprise IT teams that need more than automated backups — they need audit evidence, compliant recovery, role-based control, and Salesforce data governance that holds up to scrutiny.
Salesforce Compliance Audit
Sesame Software's patent-pending history tracking captures a pre-change image of every Salesforce record before it is updated or deleted. Every change is timestamped with full user attribution — giving your compliance team audit evidence that satisfies regulatory compliance tools and auditor requests without manual investigation. Data governance starts with knowing exactly what changed, when, and who made the change.
Compliant Salesforce Recovery
Compliant Salesforce recovery means more than restoring records — it means restoring them with a documented chain of custody, within a controlled storage environment, and with a complete audit log of the recovery operation itself. Sesame Software's self-hosted deployment keeps backup data in your infrastructure, supporting GDPR compliance, HIPAA compliance, and metadata backup requirements that regulated industries demand from enterprise automated backup software.
Salesforce Audit Trails
Native Salesforce Field History Tracking is limited to 20 fields per object and 18 months of retention. Sesame Software's data audit trails have no field limit, no retention cap, and capture deleted records that native tools miss entirely. User activity monitoring is built in — every change is attributed to the user who made it, giving your security and compliance teams the Salesforce security visibility they need for internal audits and external examinations.
Salesforce Backup Control
Salesforce data backup control means your IT team decides where data is stored, who can access it, how long it's retained, and how recovery is executed — not your backup vendor. Sesame Software's self-hosted deployment gives enterprise teams complete cloud data safety and disaster recovery capability without ceding custody of their Salesforce data. Beyond native Salesforce limits, your backup is always yours.
Common Questions
Salesforce data governance requires knowing exactly what data exists, where it has been, who changed it, and how it is protected. Sesame Software supports Salesforce data governance through patent-pending history tracking that logs every record change with full user attribution, data audit trails with no field limit or retention cap, metadata backup that captures your full org configuration alongside your records, and self-hosted deployment that keeps backup data in your own infrastructure under your own access controls. Together these capabilities give compliance-focused IT teams a complete, auditable governance record for their Salesforce environment.
A Salesforce compliance audit requires documented evidence of data changes — who changed what, when, and what the previous state was. Sesame Software supports Salesforce compliance audits through patent-pending history tracking that captures a complete pre-change image of every record, data audit trails with no field limit or retention cap, and user activity monitoring that attributes every change to the responsible user. This gives your compliance team regulatory compliance tools built directly into your Salesforce backup and recovery platform.
Compliant Salesforce recovery requires restoring data within a governed, auditable process — not just getting records back. Sesame Software provides compliant recovery through self-hosted deployment that keeps backup data in your own infrastructure, GDPR compliance and HIPAA compliance support through customer-controlled storage, metadata backup alongside record backup, and a complete audit log of every recovery operation. Automated backup software that also documents the recovery process is what regulated industries need.
Native Salesforce Field History Tracking is limited to 20 fields per object and approximately 18 months of retention. It does not track deleted records. Sesame Software's Salesforce audit trails have no field limit, no enforced retention cap, and capture deleted records in full. User activity monitoring is built in — every change includes a timestamp and user attribution. For data integrity, Salesforce security, and regulatory compliance tools requirements, Sesame Software provides a fundamentally more complete audit trail than native options.
Native Salesforce backup is limited to infrequent exports, vendor-stored data, no point-in-time restore, and no granular recovery. Sesame Software gives IT teams complete Salesforce backup control: automated backups as frequently as every 5 minutes, self-hosted deployment for cloud data safety, granular restore at the field, record, or hierarchy level, metadata backup, and disaster recovery capability — all without ceding custody of your Salesforce data to a third-party vendor.
Yes. Sesame Software is purpose-built Salesforce backup and recovery software designed for enterprise IT teams — including those in regulated industries with strict data residency, compliance, and recovery requirements. Automated Salesforce backups run as frequently as every five minutes, Salesforce metadata and configuration backup covers your full org alongside record data, and granular data restoration lets your team recover at the field, record, or hierarchy level without disrupting live data. Self-hosted deployment keeps your backup data in your own infrastructure — AWS S3, Azure Blob, or on-premise — supporting compliance and regulatory requirements without ceding custody of your data to a third-party vendor. For teams evaluating OwnBackup alternatives, Sesame Software provides enterprise Salesforce data protection with deployment control that vendor-hosted solutions can't match.
Salesforce does not automatically back up your data in a way that supports reliable recovery. Their native options — the weekly data export and the optional Backup and Restore add-on — have significant gaps: the weekly export runs infrequently and produces flat CSV files that don't preserve record relationships; the Backup and Restore add-on stores data on Salesforce's infrastructure with limited granularity; and neither option covers Salesforce metadata and configuration backup. Deleted records, field history beyond native limits, and org configuration changes are not reliably captured. Sesame Software closes every one of these gaps — automatic data backup as frequently as every five minutes, cloud data backup in your own environment, full metadata coverage, and granular restore. For mid-market and enterprise IT teams, verifying automatic Salesforce backup coverage means understanding these native limits and putting a solution in place that actually covers them.
Enterprise Salesforce backup and metadata recovery requires protecting two distinct layers of your org — your record data and your org configuration. Sesame Software backs up both automatically. Record data is protected with automated backups as frequently as every five minutes, patent-pending history tracking, and granular restore at the field, record, or hierarchy level. Metadata recovery covers your full org configuration — custom fields, flows, page layouts, validation rules, and more — with a visual compare feature that shows exactly what changed between any two configuration snapshots. For enterprise IT teams managing compliance obligations, this combination of data and metadata recovery goes well beyond what native Salesforce options provide.
Salesforce audit trail recovery for compliance means being able to identify exactly what changed, when it changed, who changed it, and then restore the correct prior state — all with a documented chain of custody. Sesame Software's patent-pending history tracking captures a complete pre-change image of every record before it is updated or deleted, giving compliance teams the audit evidence they need to answer investigator questions precisely. Granular restore lets your IT team recover the specific records identified in a compliance investigation without disrupting live data, and the full audit log documents every recovery operation for regulatory review. Data integrity is preserved through the entire process — restored records maintain their relational structure, timestamps, and user attribution.
Full Salesforce org protection means covering both your data and your org configuration — records, custom objects, metadata, fields, flows, layouts, and validation rules. Sesame Software backs up all of it automatically, on your schedule, in your own environment. Granular data restoration lets your IT team recover at any level — a single field, a single record, or a complete parent/child hierarchy — without restoring an entire org snapshot. For enterprise IT teams evaluating backup alternatives to OwnBackup or native Salesforce export, Sesame Software delivers compliance backup solutions and enterprise data protection with the recovery precision large Salesforce environments require.
Salesforce metadata backup covers your full org configuration — custom fields, flows, page layouts, validation rules, and more — alongside your record data. Sesame Software backs up metadata automatically and provides a visual compare feature showing exactly what changed between any two configuration snapshots. For compliance-focused IT teams, self-hosted deployment means backup data stays in your own infrastructure, supporting HIPAA compliance backup and GDPR compliant backup requirements. Granular restore tools let your team recover specific records or fields without disrupting live data, and the full audit trail documents every backup and recovery operation for regulatory review.
Native Salesforce backup options — the weekly data export and the optional Backup and Restore add-on — have significant limits: infrequent backup windows, no point-in-time restore, and no granular recovery. Sesame Software provides automatic Salesforce backup as frequently as every five minutes, with granular restore at the field, record, or full parent/child hierarchy level. It runs within your own cloud infrastructure management environment — AWS S3, Azure Blob, or on-premise — giving enterprise IT teams cloud data protection and enterprise backup solutions that go far beyond what Salesforce offers natively.
Compliance teams need more than a change log — they need a complete, searchable audit trail with user attribution, timestamped record history, and evidence that survives deletion. Sesame Software's patent-pending history tracking creates a full pre-change image of every Salesforce record before it is updated or deleted, building an audit log management record with no field limit and no retention cap. This gives compliance teams the Salesforce data audit trails they need for regulatory compliance software requirements, data governance tools reviews, and compliance auditing investigations — all backed up automatically and stored in your own environment.
Salesforce's native backup tools were not designed for enterprise data protection — they lack automated scheduling flexibility, point-in-time restore, granular recovery, and CRM data management controls that regulated or data-sensitive organizations require. Sesame Software fills every one of those gaps: automated backups on your schedule, cloud security through self-hosted deployment in your own infrastructure, point-in-time restore, granular record recovery, and a complete audit trail. For mid-market and enterprise IT teams, it replaces native Salesforce backup with a purpose-built automated backup platform that matches the actual risk profile of your Salesforce data.
During a compliance investigation, the integrity of your audit evidence depends on whether your record history was captured before changes or deletions occurred — not after. Sesame Software's patent-pending history tracking captures a complete prior image of every record at the time of change, ensuring data integrity tools have an unbroken chain of evidence. Audit trail configuration is automatic — every object, every field, every deletion is logged with user attribution and a timestamp. This gives enterprise IT and compliance teams the Salesforce data audit and compliance monitoring capability they need to respond to regulatory compliance investigations with complete, accurate evidence.
Yes. Sesame Software supports automatic Salesforce backups as frequently as every five minutes using its built-in scheduler. You configure the frequency once and the platform runs every backup job automatically — no manual exports, no scripts, no intervention required. Five-minute backups mean the maximum data at risk at any given moment is five minutes of changes, giving enterprise IT teams a cloud data protection and SaaS data management solution with a recovery point objective that native Salesforce backup cannot match.
No. Salesforce discontinued their data recovery service in 2020. You are solely responsible for backing up and protecting your Salesforce data. Sesame Software automates this entirely.
As frequently as every 5 minutes using built-in Cron expression scheduling. You can also schedule less frequent backups — daily, weekly, or on any custom timeline your IT team requires.
Yes. The restore interface is designed for Salesforce admins and business users — not just IT. Any authorized team member can find a record, select a point in time, and execute a restore without filing a ticket or waiting on engineering.
Sesame Software supports SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA requirements through complete audit trails, configurable retention policies, bring-your-own-storage deployment, and SOC 2 Type II certification.
You choose. Use your own AWS, Azure, or on-premise storage, or use Sesame Software's managed storage. Either way, your data never passes through or is stored on our servers. You maintain full data sovereignty.
For most enterprise IT teams, full implementation — connecting to Salesforce, configuring the backup schedule, and running the first backup — takes less than an hour.
Every day without automated backup is a day one admin error or failed integration away from a serious problem. Sesame Software gets your enterprise IT team protected in under an hour — no coding, no complex implementation, no risk.
