Finding deleted records

Because every snapshot is a point-in-time copy, bluefactory can tell you what disappeared between runs — and give you the exact list.

Spot the drop​

Open the backup and look at the Total Records Over Time chart and the run history: an unexpected dip in records is the first sign of a mass deletion. On a run's report, the Total Records card also shows the change versus the previous run, and the per-object table has a Changes column.

Get the exact list​

  1. Open the run after the deletion happened.
  2. Open the affected object.
  3. In its Record History table, the run's Deleted count is a link — click it to download the CSV listing exactly which records were deleted.

Recover them​

  1. Identify the last snapshot that still contains the records (the run before the drop).
  2. Go to Restore & Seeding → Start a restore and pick that snapshot as the source.
  3. Scope the restore to the affected object, with a filter if you only need specific records.
  4. Review the pre-flight and launch — see Restoring data.
Investigate first, restore second

Query the snapshot in the Query Console to review the records before restoring — and export the list to CSV if you need an approval first.
