# Performing Salesforce Restore

To recover backed-up data, Veeam Backup for Salesforce runs restore jobs. When you create a restore job, it is created as a draft that you can further edit, remove, start and clone. Once the restore job is started, it can only be stopped or cloned.

::: note

Only users assigned the *Administrator*, *Backup Operator* or *Restore Operator* role can perform restore operations in Veeam Backup for Salesforce. However, users assigned the *Backup Operator* or *Restore Operator* role can create and run restore jobs within their permission scope only — that is, for companies and organizations whose data they can access.
