In general, GRAX supports backup of any Salesforce objects that meet all the following criteria:
Can be queried.
Has at least one 'audit date' field (SystemModstamp, LastModifiedDate, or CreatedDate), and that field is sortable.
Is available using the Salesforce API version GRAX uses (currently 61.0).
The running user (who is loading the list of objects and selecting which to back up) has at least read access to the object.
This covers most Salesforce objects.
This document only details which objects are able to be backed up with GRAX. Whether or not supported backup objects are able to be archived or restored is determined by Salesforce. Check out Salesforce's object specific documentation for more details.
Unsupported Objects
Let's take a look at specific objects or categories of objects that GRAX doesn't currently support. Please note that these lists are not exhaustive and there may be additional objects that are unsupported. Typically, they aren't able to be queried or aren't fully supported by the API in some way. Please reach out to GRAX if you have questions about specific objects.
Certain Salesforce objects contain binary fields with base64 encoded data (that is files). GRAX supports the backup of Attachments, Content (via the linkages amongst ContentDocument, ContentVersion, and ContentDocumentLink), and EventLogFiles. For any other objects that may contain these base64 fields, GRAX may support backing up other data fields, besides the binary, per the rules mentioned above.
History Objects
Chatter / Feed
GRAX doesn't support Feed objects within an object backup.
FeedAttachment
FeedAttachment doesn't have an audit date field and thus isn't supported. This object is a junction between FeedItem and ContentVersion. You are still able to back up the File that is posted in the Chatter Feed as long as that file is also linked to the record via ContentDocumentLink, which is supported and available to select in the hierarchy.
Tags
Tag objects are supported. For object backups, you will see a backup type category if you have tags enabled in your org.
Knowledge
GRAX supports the backup of both the Classic and Lightning Knowledge object model, which revolve around objects ending in either ka or kav. VoteStat and ViewStat objects aren't supported, as indicated above.
Documents
You won't find the Document object available for archives.
Custom Settings
Custom Metadata Types
GRAX doesn't support backup of custom metadata types.

GRAX supports the backup of History objects, such as CaseHistory and OpportunityFieldHistory, in addition to custom History objects. To enable backup of these objects, please contact .
GRAX doesn't support backing up the base64 body (binary) of a Document. However, you can back up the other fields on the Document object, such as name, description, type etc. Documents are more relevant for Salesforce Classic and the , which are fully supported by GRAX.
Custom Setting objects should appear in the GRAX backup list, provided they aren't "protected." Please note that some custom setting objects may not be supported for archiving or restoring, even if they are being backed up. for more information on custom settings.
