# FAQs for Salesforce

#### Does the Salesforce requirement for multi-factor authentication have any effect on Commvault Cloud?

The Salesforce requirement to use multi-factor authentication for all Salesforce user interface logins has no effect on Commvault, if the following are true:

- The Multi Factor authentication for API Login setting is not enabled

  For more information, see Set Multi-Factor Authentication Login Requirements for API Access on the Salesforce Help website.

- The Session security level required at login profile setting is not set to High Assurance

  For more information, see Enable MFA with Session Security Levels on the Salesforce documentation website.

In Commvault, use OAUTH authentication for your Salesforce organizations.

#### What are the approximate number of API calls that are made for data protection?

Interface | API call details
--- | ---
Bulk API V2 | The total number of objects that support the Bulk API V2 interface *3. For each object, there is a Bulk query request + Bulk status check + Bulk result fetch.
SOAP API | The total number of objects + an API call for each 2000 records for objects that do not support the Bulk interface. SOAP query request + (SOAP query more request)
REST API | The total number of files such as number of attachments, ContentVersion, etc. Each file download requests 1 API call + (If failure, +1 * no of retries)

If the API calls for the Salesforce organization reach 80% of the maximum API calls allowed by Salesforce, the following event is generated: [NOTIFY_WARNING] Low API calls remaining [XX], total [XX].

#### Does the Commvault Cloud interface support the Salesforce production and sandbox orgs?

Yes.

#### How do I find my Salesforce Token?

For additional information about Salesforce tokens, go to Reset Your Security Token on the Salesforce help website.

#### Why do I see a different application size from the Salesforce Usage Report?

For most objects, Salesforce calculates the data usage by multiplying the record size (2 KB) by the number of records. The Commvault software uses the actual physical size of the object so you may see a different size from Salesforce. For more information, go to the Salesforce help website, What are the various record sizes.

#### What kind of permissions are needed to perform backups and restores?

For information on the permissions needed to perform backup operations and restore operations, see Salesforce User Permissions. The following use cases are covered:

- Backing up encrypted data

- Backing up knowledge articles

- Backing up private chatter messages and direct messages

#### Can a user who has limited permissions perform backups and restores?

Best Practice: The Salesforce user who performs the backup operations and the restore operations has a system administrator profile.

If you cannot provide a user who has a system administrator profile, you can create a profile in Salesforce that contains individual permissions. For information on the individual permissions needed, see KB article CLD0014.

#### Does the Commvault Cloud software back up Salesforce big objects?

No, big objects are not supported.

#### Does the Commvault Cloud software skip any objects in the backup?

Yes. The Commvault software skips some objects because of Salesforce API restrictions. For information, see Salesforce Objects That Are Not Included in Backups.

If an object query fails, the Commvault software skips that object and provides an event. The Commvault software also skips objects that require filters on queries.

If an object does not have any data, the Commvault software skips that object.

#### Does the Commvault software back up calculated fields?

No, the software excludes calculated fields from backups.

#### Does Commvault Cloud support Converted Lead Record restores?

No. Commvault does not support Converted Lead Record restores.

#### Why are content files not fully downloaded?

There is a Salesforce API issue that causes files that have a size that is in the hundreds of MB to not fully download. Jobs that involve these files will display an event that shows 'DISK_WRITE_INTEGRITY_CHECK_FAILED’ or a similar message.

#### Why are the downloaded files not cleared from the staging path?

The downloaded files are cleared from the staging path as soon as the files are backed up. In some specific cases, like a process crash, or if the job failed after reaching the maximum attempts, or if the user kills the job manually, then the files might remain in the staging area and the user has to remove the files manually.

#### Why don't I see the files under the ContentDocument, ContentNote and ContentBody objects?

All these objects refer to the Salesforce CRM content and will have corresponding versions in the ContentVersion object. To avoid downloading duplicate content, all CRM content files are downloaded from the ContentVersion object and shown under Files > ContentVersion.

#### Does Commvault support backup and restore operations if Shield Platform Encryption is enabled on Salesforce?

Yes. Salesforce Shield Platform encrypts data at rest on Salesforce and does not affect the APIs that are used to fetch the data. Also, tenant secrets (through TenantSecret object) are backed up and if needed, you can import secrets from backup.

#### Are Full Org Restores Supported?

Yes. Although, due to the complexity and nature of Salesforce, some objects and records might not restore successfully. Issues that can block records from being restored include API limitations, data integrity, complexity in hierarchical relationships, and automation processes that utilize triggers, flows, and rules.

For more information about why some objects and records do not restore successfully, see Troubleshooting General Salesforce Errors and Troubleshooting Salesforce Restore Operations.
