Restoring Salesforce Metadata to Salesforce

You can restore the Salesforce metadata to the Salesforce cloud. Data is restored from media. When data is restored from media, the data is restored to a staging location, and then the data is upload to Salesforce. You can also validate the metadata restore operation before you perform the actual restore operation.

Metadata supported by the Salesforce API is supported for restore operations.

If you need to modify or customize the metadata that you backed up, perform the following operations:

  1. Restore the metadata to a file system.

  2. Modify the corresponding xml files.

  3. Use the Force.com Migration Tool tool to deploy the metadata to the Salesforce organization. For more information, go to the Salesforce help website, Force.com Migration Tool.

Before You Begin

  • Verify that the Salesforce user who performs the restore operation has a System Administrator profile or an equivalent profile.

  • You must have a subclient that includes metadata. For more information, see Backing Up Salesforce Metadata.

Procedure

  1. From the CommCell Browser, go to Client Computers > client > Cloud Apps > instance.

  2. Right-click the subclient, and then click Browse and Restore.

    The Browse and Restore Options dialog box appears.

  3. Make the following selections:

    1. Select Latest Backup.

    2. Select the Metadata View check box.

    3. Click View Content.

  4. Select the metadata that you want to restore, and then click Recover All Selected.

    The Restore Options dialog box appears.

  5. On the General tab, provide the destination information:

    1. Select the Salesforce Instance check box.

    2. From the Destination Client list, select the Salesforce destination to which you want to restore.

    3. From the Destination Instance list, select the instance.

    4. In the Destination Path box, type the full path to the staging location.

    5. In the Number of Streams box, type the number of streams to use for the restore.

  6. On the Job Initiation tab, specify whether to run the restore now or to schedule the restore.

    Note

    If you selected Schedule, set up the schedule. For information on configuring a restore schedule, see Schedule Restore.

  7. Click OK.

    To monitor the progress of the restore job, see Job Controller.

What to Do Next

In Salesforce, check the metadata deploy status, results, and errors. If errors occur, go to the Deployment Details page to troubleshoot, or contact your Salesforce administrator or Salesforce support. For more information, go to Monitor Deployments on the Salesforce support website.
