Summary

This article documents the patch release for Backup & Archive (v4.5.3). This release adds a new Declarative Filter operator and improves job scheduling.

Added Support for the IN Operator in Declarative Filters

Added support for the IN operator in the declarative filter. It can be used to filter records by recordId.

Max recordIds

A maximum of 200 recordIds allowed per filter row (limit from Salesforce). You can add up to 5 filter rows, enabling searches of up to 1000 recordIds. Use the following Custom Logic (1 OR 2 OR 3 OR 4 OR 5) to combine the filter rows 1 through 5.

The IN operator is supported in filters for the following:

• Export

• Search Request

• Restore Request

• Templated Backup > Declarative Filter

• Templated Archive > Declarative Filter

Field Type Limitations

The IN operator adheres to the Salesforce-supported field type limitations and is not supported for the following field types:

• Geolocation

• Address

• Encrypted Text

• Blob

• Rich Text Area

• Formula fields

Updates to Export Job Processing

An Export job can now run in parallel with one backup or restore request job, which includes:

• Any type of Backup job: Templated, Scheduled, or Composite.

• Any type of Restore Request job: Backup, Archive, or Metadata. (This does not include executing a restore request.)

All scheduled jobs will continue to run as per their defined schedules.

Important Export Job Notes

• Users will no longer see errors indicating that a backup or restore cannot start because an export is in progress.

• If a backup or restore is already in progress, a new export will start only after the backup or restore completes.

• Multiple exports cannot run in parallel within the same org.

New IN Declarative Filter Operator Notes

The Declarative Filter for an Export job is limited to select fields like Id and Name. However, adding the IN operator broadens your filtering choices. For quicker Export performance, using a Declarative Filter is recommended.
