Summary

This article documents the monthly release for Backup & Archive (v4.7.6). This release introduces the ability to exclude objects from Composite Backups, giving administrators finer control over which objects are included, and updates the underlying platform to the latest Salesforce API and MySQL versions for improved compatibility, performance, and security.

Composite Backup Exclusions

You can now directly define which objects are excluded from your backups in an Organization’s Settings. A new Backup Exclusions tab has been added to Organization Settings, where you can review and manage the list of objects to omit from backup operations.

Objects added to the exclusion list are excluded only from Composite Backups. Template Backups and Template Archives are not affected by these settings and will continue to process objects according to their own configuration.

This capability gives administrators greater control over backup scope, helping reduce backup size and processing time by omitting objects that do not require protection.

Salesforce API Version Update to 66.0

Backup & Archive now uses Salesforce API version 66.0. Upgrading to the latest API version ensures continued compatibility with Salesforce platform changes and provides access to the most recent metadata and data access improvements.

MySQL Version Update to 8.4.9

The underlying database engine has been updated to MySQL 8.4.9, the latest MySQL 8.4 LTS release. This update brings performance enhancements, security patches, and stability improvements to the Backup & Archive data layer.
