Viewing Policy Sessions
When creating a backup policy, you configure the default backup schedule according to which Veeam Backup for Salesforce backs up the Salesforce organization. You can also enable custom schedules in the backup policy settings to additionally protect specific groups of objects. The configured schedules are further used by the product to create backup jobs of 4 different types:
- Data job — this type of job is used to back up data of objects of the protected Salesforce organization. Dedicated data jobs run according to each configured backup schedule (both custom and default). To learn how to configure backup schedules, see Creating Backup Policies.
- Metadata job — this type of job is used to back up metadata of the protected Salesforce organization. Metadata jobs run according to default backup schedules only.
- File job — this type of job is used to back up files and attachments of the protected Salesforce organization. File jobs run according to default backup schedules and only if you enable backup of files and attachments in backup policy settings.
- Validate job — this type of job is used to compare backed-up data in the product database with data currently stored in the Salesforce database, that is, to detect hard-deleted items and mark them as deleted in the product database. Validate jobs automatically run weekly at the same time for each enabled backup policy. To learn how to enable backup policies, see Disabling and Enabling Backup Policies.
For each performed data protection operation, Veeam Backup for Salesforce starts a new session according to the created backup jobs, and stores its records in the configuration database. You can track real-time statistics of all running and completed operations from the Backup tab. To view the full list of tasks executed during an operation, click the link in the Status column. The Backup Sessions page will open.
