File Storage

As Veeam Backup for Salesforce stores Salesforce file data and metadata in the same format as they are stored in Salesforce, files can consume significant amount of disk space. The total file size depends on the file retention policy and daily change rate in your organizations. To provide stable operation of the product, consider the following:

• Before you deploy Veeam Backup for Salesforce, create a dedicated partition for file storage and mount this partition to the /opt/vbsf/data/ folder. When you configure a backup policy, Veeam Backup for Salesforce verifies whether disk space available in the specified directory is enough for the amount of data that will be backed up and raises a warning in case of insufficient storage capacity. That is why it is recommended that you mount additional storage to the specified location to prevent the shortage of storage capacity.

• The product deletes backed-up files from its file repository according to the configured retention settings only. That means if you manually delete a file in Salesforce, it will not be automatically deleted from the repository.
