Back Up a Refreshed Salesforce Sandbox in Backup & Recover for Salesforce

When you refresh a Salesforce sandbox, create a backup service for it. The refresh assigns a new org ID, so the original service no longer connects to the sandbox.

When you refresh a sandbox in Salesforce, the refresh creates a sandbox with a new org ID. The original backup service keeps the old org ID, so it no longer connects to the refreshed sandbox. If you reauthenticate the original service, Backup & Recover returns the error The authorized Org is different from the service's Original Org. To back up the refreshed sandbox, create a service.

  1. Refresh the sandbox in Salesforce.
  2. In Backup & Recover, add a service for the refreshed sandbox.
    Follow the steps in Back Up Your Data with Backup & Recover for Salesforce and select the Sandbox Data or Sandbox Metadata service type.
  3. Archive the old service on the Options tab, under General.
    Archiving the old service stops Backup & Recover from backing up the old service and generating errors.

This process applies only to sandbox environments.
