The workflow opens the Start Backup dialog, confirms the backup details, starts the job, and displays the created backup record in the Backup Summary. ## Before Beginning A source org and backup configuration must already be available. The Backup Jobs page uses the selected Salesforce Org, Environment, and Configurations values to display the related backup records and to start a new backup for the selected configuration.
## Create a Backup Job The Backup module opens on the Backup Jobs page. The page displays the selected Salesforce Org, Environment, and Configurations values at the top of the workspace. The Backup Summary table lists existing backup jobs for the selected configuration. When no backup has been created for the current selection, the table displays an empty state. Selecting Backup Now opens the Start Backup dialog. AutoRABIT Vault automatically generates a Backup Label and carries forward the selected configuration into the Configurations field. The dialog provides the review point before the backup job is started.
The Configurations field supports selection or confirmation of the backup configuration that must be used for the job. After the configuration is selected, the Data section displays Full Backup as the backup type. The Exclude Deleted Records from Backups option remains available to control whether deleted records are excluded from the backup processing.
## Start the Backup Selecting Start Backup submits the backup request. During submission, the Start Backup button shows an in-progress state to indicate that AutoRABIT Vault is processing the request and creating the backup job.
After the request is accepted, AutoRABIT Vault closes the dialog and displays a confirmation notification indicating that the backup has started. The Backup Summary refreshes with the created backup record. The record displays the backup label, configuration name, date and time, expiry date, duration, record count, API calls, data backup indicator, status, and available actions.
## Important Considerations Backup jobs are created only for the currently selected Salesforce Org, Environment, and Configurations values. The generated Backup Label can be reviewed before the job is started. The Exclude Deleted Records from Backups option determines whether deleted records are excluded during backup processing. The Backup Summary reflects the job after AutoRABIT Vault accepts the backup request. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
