NOTE: This feature is currently unavailable. As an alternative, you can export objects from the Tools menu, one at a time, being sure to choose “All fields” during the export.
Apsona for Salesforce includes a simple way to create a backup of selected objects in your Salesforce org. You can use this feature to create on-demand backups of selected objects, without having to wait for a weekly or scheduled backup to be available. You might also want to use this feature as a safety precaution before performing a large import or update.
To create the backup, click Settings – Table info, and then click Tools – Create backup.
You will then see a popup such as the one below, where you can select one or more of the objects you want to back up.
When you click the Proceed button, Apsona produces a backup zip file that you can download.
The downloaded zip file contains a series of CSV files, one for each object you have selected.Each CSV file contains all the fields of all the records in the selected object.Only the objects visible in the current user’s configuration are available in the popup. See this article for information about visible objects.By default, the generated zip file will look likebackup-2018-0515-1011.zip, i.e., it includes the date and time at which the backup was created.If a user’s Apsona configuration does not include the Export permission, then the Backup menu item will not be available.
