    Downloading Metadata

    Metadata from backups can only be downloaded to your local computer, and cannot be exported to endpoints, like backup data.

    One backup's metadata can be downloaded as a Zip file. 

    Information about your recent metadata backups (such as when the backup occurred, number of files, number of consumed APIs, etc.), can be downloaded as a CSV file.

    Export Backup Data to SQL

    We support this feature with MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MS-SQL databases. You can select the format, and whether to export All or specific objects. To see the list of objects excluded from the export process see here.

    When using the export to SQL feature, you can export your data backup into an SQL database, via a generated SQL script for download. This script can then be inserted into your database, upon which all of your data and relationships will be inserted.

     

    Export to SQL Endpoint

    NOTE: Before you can export data you must first create a new SQL Endpoint. For more information on adding endpoints, see the Recover for Salesforce User Guide.

    If you have a My-SQL database, you can set up an endpoint, and then directly push your data to the database. This feature is currently available for MySQL and doesn't support Client Cert Auth connections which require an additional file beyond the SSL CA.
    If you need to allow list the incoming traffic into your MySQL, you can find more information here.
