Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection Administrator's Guide

Salesforce Objects not supported for backup

Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection does not support the backup of the following:

  • Event objects:

    These objects store transient information and are not designed to hold long-term data like classic Salesforce objects.

  • External objects:

    Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection backs up data primarily stored within the Salesforce organization. These objects are not stored within the Salesforce organization, hence, not supported for the backup.

  • Objects not supporting the Salesforce API Query():

    The objects that do not support the Salesforce API query() function cannot be backed up.

  • Big objects:

    The backup of Big objects is not supported.

  • Unsupported Salesforce objects:

    Some objects are inherently unsupported by Salesforce for backup.

  • Certain fields in the User object:

    The following fields in the User object are not supported for the backup:

    • Load Lightning Pages While Scrolling

    • Send Apex Warning Emails

    • Quick Access Menu

      For more information, refer to the User topic in Standard Objects / User

  • Limitations due to API limitations:

    • Private Dashboards and Reports cannot be backed up.

      Only Public Dashboards and Reports are supported for backup.

    • The image in the ContentNote cannot be backed up.

      Salesforce does not provide any API for retrieving images from a ContentNote. Therefore, if a ContentNote contains an image, it will not be backed up or restored.

      ContentNote is a non-restorable object because it is automatically restored during the restoration of the associated ContentDocument. To restore a ContentNote, restore the corresponding ContentDocument record(s).

    • When using the Salesforce Bulk API to upload data, the API does not preserve CRLF (\r\n) line endings in uploaded files - particularly in text-based formats such as CSV. Instead, it normalizes line endings to LF (\n).
