Restoring Metadata
Veeam Backup for Salesforce allows you to recover metadata of objects deleted from Salesforce, including such metadata types and components as Apex classes, connected app configurations, reports, dashboards and so on.
When recovering metadata components, make sure that you recover their parent components first. For example:
- If you want to restore a definition of the flow (FlowDefinition), you must restore the Flow metadata file first.
- If you want to restore session settings (ProfileSessionSetting) or password policies (ProfilePasswordPolicy metadata file) of a user profile, you must restore the Profile metadata file first.

To create a metadata restore job, perform the following steps:
- Launch the Restore Metadata wizard.
- Specify a name and description for the restore job.
- Select Salesforce organizations.
- Select objects whose metadata will be restored.
- Review the restore list.
- Finish working with the wizard.
Note |
If you delete a metadata field from Salesforce and then create a new field using the same API name, Veeam Backup for Salesforce will treat this field as the same item when restoring metadata and will populate it with the values of the deleted field. |
