Options

  • AData backups are limited to weekly or monthly intervals.
  • BMetadata backups are limited to sandbox refresh intervals.

Explanation

When scheduling data exports for backups, administrators should be aware that data exports using the Data Export Service are limited to weekly or monthly intervals, and metadata must be backed up through a separate process.

Common mistakes.

  • B. Metadata backups are not limited to sandbox refresh intervals; sandbox refreshes copy metadata but are not a backup strategy for production metadata, and dedicated metadata backup tools exist independently.
  • C. The Data Export Service is primarily used to export data from the production organization for backup purposes, not typically run from a sandbox to protect production data.
