Full Metadata Backup Retirement

Last updated 1 month ago

What's being done?

GRAX is retiring the Full Metadata Backup functionality in favor of the newly available Incremental Metadata Backup functionality. Full Metadata Backups will be retired on March 31, 2025.

Why is GRAX retiring support for this feature?

GRAX has historically saved a copy of all metadata files separately as part of each metadata backup. While this design initially made working with a single instance of the backup easier, it also resulted in duplicate items taking up considerable storage space and can make changes in metadata difficult to find.

To resolve this issue, we've created a Salesforce Metadata UI (Settings > Diagnostics and Tools > Salesforce Metadata) and introduced our Incremental Metadata Backups functionality.

How does this impact me?

All of your new/changed Metadata will continue captured by GRAX, but as of March 31, 2025, unchanged files will no longer be backed up each time Metadata Backup runs. Starting in April 2025, GRAX will automatically remove duplicate metadata backups to help free up storage space. No action is required on your part.

This retirement does not impact the Metadata Backup Interval settings (Settings > General Settings > Metadata Backup Interval).

Timing

GRAX will retire Full Metadata Backups on March 31, 2025.
