June 03, 2026 14:15 ET | Source: Flosum San Ramon, CA, June 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Flosum, the leading end-to-end DevOps, data management, and data protection platform for Salesforce, today announced a comprehensive update to Flosum Backup & Archive, its enterprise backup, recovery, and archival solution for Salesforce. The update, rolling out to existing customers, delivers significant gains in performance, visibility, and governance, giving Salesforce teams more precise control over how their data is backed up, archived, retained, and recovered. Update at a glance The latest update to Flosum Backup & Archive introduces: * 60% faster restore times across backup and archival operations * Reduced Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) times for faster recovery and tighter data protection windows * Deeper visibility into previous versions of backed-up and archived data * Multi-language support for distributed teams operating across global deployments * Legal hold controls to prevent deletion or modification of specific data for compliance and litigation * Expanded archival controls for finer governance over what is archived, when, and for how long * 100% coverage for all component types (data types, data elements, etc.) across the full Salesforce data estate * Deeper support for data hierarchy, with policies that follow parent-child relationships across complex datasets * An enhanced retention policy framework with more flexible, rule-based configurations Why this update matters As enterprises face mounting pressure from regulators, auditors, and internal risk functions, the ability to govern Salesforce data at a granular level has become a defining requirement. This update directly addresses that requirement, expanding what customers can control, how quickly they can recover, and how confidently they can demonstrate compliance across complex, distributed data estates. "Our customers tell us their Salesforce data has become one of their most regulated and most scrutinized assets," said Girish Jashnani, CEO at Flosum. "This update strengthens Flosum Backup & Archive with the granular, evidence-ready controls modern compliance, legal, and risk teams expect, including legal hold, flexible retention, and consistent policy across the full data hierarchy. And it makes recovery itself measurably faster, so when something does go wrong, our customers are back up and running with minimal disruption." Faster recovery and stronger performance The update brings drastically improved system performance across backup and archival operations, along with major reductions in Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) times. The result is faster recovery and tighter data protection windows for organizations operating at scale. Greater visibility and global accessibility Flosum Backup & Archive customers now have deeper visibility into previous versions of backed-up and archived data, making historical records easier to locate, review, and restore. The update also introduces multi-language support, allowing distributed teams across global deployments to operate the platform in their preferred language. Granular data management The update expands governance capabilities with new and enhanced controls: * Legal hold controls that prevent the deletion or modification of specific data for compliance and litigation purposes. * Expanded archival controls for finer governance over what is archived, when, and for how long. * Support for all component types, ensuring consistent policy application across the full data estate. * Deeper support for data hierarchy, enabling policies to follow parent-child relationships across complex datasets. A more flexible retention policy framework The retention policy framework in Flosum Backup & Archive has been substantially enhanced, offering more flexible, rule-based configurations to help organizations meet evolving business and regulatory requirements. Availability The new capabilities are part of Flosum's ongoing platform investment and are included for existing Flosum Backup & Archive customers at no additional cost.
