Difficulty: MediumData Export, Backup Services, and Mass Operations

A system administrator is tasked with establishing a recurring data backup process to meet regulatory compliance requirements. The backup must automatically run on a weekly schedule and include all organizational data records along with document attachments and Chatter files. Which native Salesforce functionality should the administrator configure to meet this requirement?

  1. Data Export Service in SetupAnswer
  2. B
    Data Import Wizard
  3. C
    Scheduled Custom Report Export
  4. D
    Duplicate Rules and Matching Rules

Answer

The Data Export Service in Setup is the correct tool for scheduling automated weekly data backups that include record data and binary attachments.
The Data Export Service (accessible via Setup) provides an automated browser-based feature to extract set data files on a scheduled weekly or monthly basis. It explicitly allows administrators to include document attachments, Salesforce Files, and Chatter images in the export archive files.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the key requirements
The requirement demands an automated, weekly backup of all Salesforce record data as well as file attachments.
Regulatory compliance requires full data archives including binary content.
2
Evaluate native Salesforce export mechanisms
The Data Export Service (Weekly Export Service) natively supports scheduling automated data archives at weekly or monthly intervals and includes options to include images, documents, and attachments.
Other tools like the Data Import Wizard are designed for data loading rather than comprehensive export backup routines.
