## ![](/files/CBvqj0H8446fKLeXtHLv)Overview

Each of your Salesforce Organizations has its own **Settings** page that can be configured independently. The **Settings** page is divided into three tabs: **General**, **Notifications**, and **Integrations**. This article focuses on the settings within the **General** tab. For instructions on the other tabs, refer to the following article.

* [Overview of Notifications Settings](/backup-and-archive/settings/backup-and-archive-settings-notifications.md)
* [Overview of Integrations Settings](/backup-and-archive/settings/backup-and-archive-settings-integrations.md)

The **General** Settings tab lets you review your organization settings, manage backup and archive operations, and set API quotas.

### Manage Operations

Flosum automatically enables scheduled backups and archives by default, providing restore points in case of data loss. You can manage backup and archive scheduling separately using the **Scheduled backups** and **Scheduled archives** toggles. When either toggle is disabled, existing schedules of that type won't run, and you won't be able to create new ones. For more details about disabling schedules, see the following article:

* [Disabling Scheduled Backups and Archives](/backup-and-archive/settings/disabling-scheduled-backups-and-archives.md)

* If you make changes, click **Save** to apply them.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### API Quota

Salesforce enforces daily API call usage limits to prevent individual customers from overusing its Point of Destination (PoD) resources. By default, Flosum sets the maximum **REST API** and **Bulk API** calls to 80% of the Salesforce limits. This approach ensures your backup and archive jobs operate within the allowable range while reserving capacity for other API operations. As a best practice, maintain these 80% thresholds to leave room for other API calls and avoid job suspension when daily API limits are reached. These percentages can be adjusted if necessary, though caution is advised.
