Step 4. Select Files to Restore

At the Data step of the wizard, choose files that you want to restore:

1. Select a file type to search for all files of this type that belong to the organization selected at step 3. For a file type to be displayed in the list of available types, at least one file of this type must have a backup.

When selecting a file type, consider the following:

• If you select the Attachment or ContentVersion file type, you will be able to narrow down the search scope by specifying a Salesforce object that is associated with files of this type.
• If you select the ContentVersion file type, you will be able to choose the version of each 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 help you choose a version, Veeam Backup for Salesforce displays both the content of the selected backed-up file and the content of the file currently stored in Salesforce. If you want to view only those fields that have changed since the backup was created, set the Compare changes toggle to On.

2. Click Search and select check boxes next to the necessary files.

By default, you can select up to 500,000 of files for one restore session. To change this limit, modify the ui.restore.max.selected.records parameter value as described in section Configuring Advanced Settings.

Configuring Filtering Settings

Consider that Veeam Backup for Salesforce displays the maximum number of 500 files per page. If you want to apply specific search conditions and reduce the number of search results, or if you want to select specific Salesforce fields to be displayed in the search results, click Customize in the Filters and display fields field.

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. Keep in mind 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 file 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.
