Backups can be **scheduled** to run at regular intervals, capturing changes in near real time with minimal manual effort. You can create and manage multiple, independent backup configurations to support different Salesforce orgs, environments, or business use cases. In addition to data, the solution supports **metadata snapshots**, allowing you to preserve your org’s configuration across deployments, audits, or development cycles.

The recovery process is just as powerful. With **point-in-time restore**, you can recover individual records, specific objects, or entire datasets from any previous backup. This functionality helps reduce downtime and supports fast recovery from data loss or user error. **Retention policies** are configurable, enabling you to meet compliance or internal governance requirements with ease.

### 🧑‍💻 Sesame Software also includes:

- **Sandbox Seeding** – replicate production data into sandboxes for testing or development
- **Job Activity Logs** – track backup and recovery tasks with detailed reporting
- **Custom Alerts** – receive notifications for key system events or failures
- **Transparent Storage** – no proprietary formats; your data remains queryable and accessible

For technical teams seeking a scalable, enterprise-ready solution that doesn’t lock data into a black box, Sesame Software provides the control, visibility, and reliability needed to confidently manage Salesforce backup and recovery operations.
