Sesame Software Expands Backup and Recovery Solution as Salesforce Eliminates Data Recovery Services

Sesame Software, Inc., creator of Relational Junction and provider of cloud-based backup and recovery, has launched patented features and an enhanced data recovery user interface.

The company is redefining how organizations of all sizes protect and manage their data with its complete and scalable backup and recovery solution for Salesforce.

Salesforce is an integral part of business processes for many organizations. Although losing Salesforce data would be devastating for these businesses, many entrust their Salesforce backup and recovery to Salesforce, at their own risk.

Salesforce.com has recently announced that “effective July 31, 2020, data recovery as a paid feature will be deprecated and no longer available as a service.“

The company’s Relational Junction for Salesforce was first offered in Spring 2005 as a backup and recovery solution, being one of the earliest data compliance offerings in the Salesforce ecosystem. Since that time, the firm’s customers have performed countless recoveries of mission critical data.

As of April 2020, Relational Junction has a new self-service page which allows customers to perform full or partial recoveries of Salesforce data. This simplifies the task of doing full or record level searches from the unlimited number of versions of any record to find historical data, all without having to store a complete copy of all the data every day. Intra-day changes are also tracked, allowing both a complete audit trail and point-in-time recovery.

Rick Banister, CEO and founder, explains: “We are extending the recovery capability for other applications and databases, so that you will be able to recover all or part of your data back to any point in time, and to preview what changes will happen before they happen. Using a versioned database for the backup instead of a single versioned database or flat files enables so much functionality and the new user interface is very easy to use.“

Competing recovery solutions typically provide with text files of data, making the actual recovery an all or nothing proposition. Relational Junction does incremental backups of Salesforce data throughout the day – not just once a day – and keeps every version of every record in a relational database. This allows to recover data whenever needed, at any level of granularity, and is always available for fast point-in-time restoration. Only new and changed records are copied after the initial backup, so it’s efficient.

The company has been awarded multiple patents on its data protection technology, including the recent issuance of patent 10,540,237. This combined patent portfolio enables Sesame to provide a technology that also enables business intelligence on the same relational database as the backup repository.

The firm has been recognized as a leader in cloud data protection for the increasing number of businesses utilizing Salesforce, as well as other enterprise applications. Through its integration with Salesforce, it supports businesses worldwide in preventing data corruption and data loss, ensuring BC, minimizing operational disruptions and meeting compliance mandates. The firm’s Relational Junction is also used as a performance bi-directional data warehousing and integration solution for Salesforce.
