File Backup
Back up and audit your Salesforce files
Scan the org’s entire file estate, browse it by record, user, library, or size, then export exactly the selection you want as a ZIP with an embedded manifest — the answer to “how much of our storage is one person’s screenshots?”
What you can do
- A full scan of the org’s files, recording what each one is attached to — record, user, group, library, or the org itself
- Browse and filter by object, record, owner, type, and size
- See which files have Salesforce-hosted bytes and which are only external links
- Coverage is reported honestly: a scan tells you whether it saw the whole org or only what your user can access
- Export any selection as a ZIP with an embedded manifest describing every file in it
- Exports and scans run as cancellable background jobs, with multi-gigabyte files handled without precision loss
- Optional cleanup: delete files you have already backed up — sandbox-only, and off unless an operator turns it on
How it works
Scan the org
A background job inventories every file it can see and records what each is linked to.
Explore the estate
Filter by object, owner, type, or size to find the storage hogs and the orphans.
Export a ZIP
Select what you want and download an archive with a manifest — ready for cold storage or a migration.
Why it's different
It tells you what it could not see
File visibility in Salesforce depends on sharing, and a backup that quietly skips what it cannot access is worse than no backup. Every scan records its coverage — whole org, or only what the connected user can reach — so an incomplete archive is labelled rather than assumed complete. The manifest travels inside the ZIP, so the archive stays readable years later.
Try asking
- Find out what is actually consuming your file storage allocation
- Archive files off an org you are about to decommission
- Hand a client every file attached to their records
- Spot files attached to records that no longer exist
- Prove, for an audit, what was stored and where it went
