Salesforce’s Zero Copy feature, part of Salesforce Data Cloud, has introduced a new way for businesses to access and act on external data without actually storing it in Salesforce. Instead of copying data from systems like Snowflake or Databricks into your CRM, Zero Copy lets you query that data in place. It’s a game-changer for organizations managing large volumes of information across platforms – it speeds up access, eliminates unnecessary duplication, and helps teams make faster decisions using real-time insights.
But despite the innovation behind Zero Copy, many organizations overlook one critical aspect: backup and recovery. Just because your data isn’t housed in Salesforce doesn’t mean it’s protected by default. In fact, using Zero Copy may leave data more vulnerable in the event of a system outage, integration failure, or accidental overwrite. Without a dedicated Salesforce backup strategy, the risk of data loss, compliance issues, or costly downtime increases significantly.
That’s where Sesame Software comes in. Our platform offers automated, no-code Salesforce backup and recovery that works seamlessly alongside Zero Copy setups. Whether your data lives inside Salesforce or connects externally through tools like Snowflake, Sesame Software gives you full control with secure backups, near real-time synchronization, and fast restore options when things go wrong. You don’t need to write scripts, manage custom logic, or rely on manual processes. Sesame does the heavy lifting for you.
This is especially important for Salesforce admins and data teams supporting analytics, testing, or AI modeling. For example, a business using Zero Copy to analyze customer behavior across Salesforce and Snowflake still needs a reliable way to back up their Salesforce records, track changes over time, and restore data if something breaks. Sesame makes it easy to protect and recover specific fields or entire objects, whether you’re experimenting with Zero Copy integrations or running your production org at scale.
Using Zero Copy doesn’t mean backup is obsolete, it means backup needs to evolve. A modern Salesforce strategy must include both flexible data access and solid data protection. Sesame Software bridges that gap. Our platform ensures your data is not only available when and where you need it but also safe, compliant, and fully restorable at a moment’s notice.
If you’re exploring Salesforce Zero Copy or already using it, now is the time to implement a backup and recovery solution that supports your broader data strategy. Sesame Software can help you build a scalable foundation that keeps your data protected – no matter where it lives.
