Beta Release Product

Veeam Backup for Salesforce is currently in private beta, supported and driven by Veeam SEs only.

Should you have any questions about this product, please, reach out to your Veeam Systems Engineer or Veeam Sales Representative. Please note that Veeam Technical Support is not provided for this private beta release. All feedback and questions should be sent to the Veeam Systems Engineer.

Purpose

This article documents how to create a connected app in Salesforce to integrate with Veeam Backup for Salesforce via Salesforce API. Connnected App with proper permissions is required for Veeam Backup for Salesforce to get integrated with Salesforce API using the OAuth 2.0 protocol.

Solution

If you create a Connected App in the Sandbox environment, please keep in mind that the next sandbox refresh will erase the connected app configuration and the product will not be able to refresh the connection to Salesforce. All backup jobs will fail to run.
