Frequently Asked Questions

Your enterprise data lives in dozens of systems — CRMs, ERPs, cloud platforms, and SaaS applications — and you don't always control where it ends up. For IT leaders operating under GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, or SOX, this isn't just an operational headache. It's a compliance risk that can cost millions in fines and erode customer trust. This guide covers everything you need to know about data sovereignty and how self-hosted backup and integration solutions put you back in control.

Salesforce does not back up your data. That responsibility sits entirely with your team — and for organizations operating under HIPAA or GDPR, native tools like Field History Tracking and the recycle bin leave compliance gaps that auditors will find. This guide covers how to design a Salesforce backup architecture that satisfies six and seven-year retention requirements, supports granular point-in-time recovery, and keeps backup data inside infrastructure you control.

Sesame Software's latest update speeds up your time to insights with replication, integration, and compliant backups for your Salesforce Cloud data. Salesforce champions, rejoice! Sesame Software just released a game-changing update designed to revolutionize your data management experience. Get ready for lightning-fast transfers, streamlined workflows, and a deeper connection with improved Salesforce backup and recovery.

Salesforce gives you a 15-day recycle bin and a weekly CSV export. For mid-sized enterprise IT teams managing live customer data, compliance obligations, and the daily reality of user error, that is not a recovery strategy. Sesame Software's Backup Scheduler automates continuous Salesforce backup and point-in-time restore at the record, field, and value level — so your team can recover anything, in minutes, without touching the rest of the org.

When your data pipelines run on a vendor's cloud infrastructure, that vendor controls the availability, the pricing, and the terms governing your most critical data operations. Self-hosted data control changes that equation entirely. This guide explains how enterprise IT leaders use self-hosted deployment to satisfy data sovereignty requirements, meet residency obligations, and eliminate the infrastructure dependencies that cloud-hosted platforms cannot resolve by design.

Salesforce doesn't back up your data the way most IT teams expect. Yes, the platform includes disaster recovery infrastructure to protect against system-wide failures. But when an admin accidentally deletes critical records, a bad import overwrites thousands of contacts, or a misconfigured automation corrupts your pipeline data — Salesforce's native protection offers limited help.

As data protection costs continue to rise across the enterprise software landscape, Sesame Software stands apart with a commitment to stable, predictable pricing for its Salesforce Backup and Recovery solution.
