Step 4. Select Files to Restore

At the Data step of the wizard:

Select the type of files that you want to restore. For a file type to be displayed in the list of available file types, it must have a backup.

NoteS

If you select the Attachment or Content Version file type, you can also specify a Salesforce object associated with these files.
If you select to restore the Document file type but the document folder to which this document belongs is deleted from Salesforce, Veeam Backup for Salesforce will automatically restore the deleted folder.

Click the Customize link to apply specific search conditions and reduce the number of search results. Veeam Backup for Salesforce provides a number of built-in conditional operators (such as contains, equals, starts with, is null and so on) that can be used to send requests to databases. Note that the time required to process a request depends on the operator you use — for example, processing a request with the equals operator will take less time than processing a request with the contains operator.

By default, filters are combined by the AND logical operator. That is, a record is displayed in the search results only if all the specified conditions are met. You can change this behavior by combining filters using different operators. To do that, set the Use filter logic toggle to On, and specify the filter logic expression using condition ordinal numbers, brackets and logical operators — for example, 1 AND (2 OR 3) AND NOT 4.

You can also specify what Salesforce fields you want to be displayed for the found records. To do that, navigate to the Display Fields tab and add the necessary fields.

Click Search. If you apply any filtering conditions, the search results will be displayed on the same pages where the records were originally shown. To make sure that you have seen all the results, look through all the pages.

Select files that you want to restore.

For the ContentVersion file type, Veeam Backup for Salesforce always displays the latest version of a file. You can also choose the version of a file that will be restored. To do that, click the link in the Version column and select the necessary file version from the Restore point drop-down list to compare the selected version of the backed-up file with the file version currently stored in Salesforce. If you want Veeam Backup for Salesforce to display only those fields that differ between the selected file versions, set the Compare changes toggle to On.

Tip

You can download up to 10 files to the local machine. To do that, select the necessary items, and click Download. Note that only users assigned the Administrator and Backup Operator roles can download encrypted files.
