Restoring Salesforce.com at the item level
Ensure that the Salesforce.com database file from which you plan to restore at the item level is located on a local drive in the DS-Client machine. Otherwise, DS-Client will not be able to access it.
2. Click Restore Now.
3. On the Select the Backup Set Restore Method page, select Granular Restore > Step 2. Items Restore, and then click Next.
4. On the Select Restore Location page, make the required selections, and then click Next.
• Salesforce DB: Click
>> to browse and specify the Salesforce database file from which you want to restore at the item level. This is the file you have restored in
“Restoring the database file”. The file needs to be located on a local disk in the DS-Client machine for DS-Client to access it.
• Connect to Salesforce with: Click >> to enter the credentials for the Salesforce.com site to which you want to restore data.
5. On the Select tables to be restored page, select the required tables or items to restore, and then click Next.
This dialog box allows you to determine the granularity of the restore, broad or specific. You can select to restore entire tables or individual items (i.e. rows from a table).
• To select an entire table, select the corresponding check box.
• To select specific items (or rows from a table), follow these steps:
a) Click [...] in the Items column for the corresponding table.
The Select Table Items dialog box lists all backed up items from that table.
b) Use the Filter to find specific items or to narrow down the items displayed.
c) Select individual items to restore from that table, and then click OK.
NOTE: The Filter offers various ways for you to locate items. (1) Type a string, a word, or a multi-word phrase to find any cell that matches the exact spelling and arrangement. (2) To search for strings or words that co-occur with variations, use a Regular Expression; for example, the regular expression data.*inc finds any individual cell that contains this combination: “data” and any string and “inc”. The filter searches all cells; therefore, you do not need to specify a column for the search.
6. On the Select Restore Options page, make the required selections, and then click Next.
Examples:
• Use Bulk API – This option minimizes the number of API call counts made by the restore process and is selected by default. When files are uploaded via Bulk API, a file size limit of 10 MB is enforced by Salesforce.com.
NOTE: Ensure that this check box is cleared if the data to be restored contains files that are larger than 10 MB.
• Save temporary database file in local storage for resume – To make the restore process resumable in the event that it is stopped during the uploading stage, select this option. For more information on this option, see
“Resuming a Salesforce.com data restore process”.
For more information about this page, see the F1 help.
7. On the Fill in the restore survey page, make the following selections as required:
• Specify the reason for this restore from the Restore reason drop-down list.
8. Click Finish to start the restore.
