Inventory the coverage
Identify important tables, relationships and files. Record whether documents are stored in Dataverse or externally in SharePoint, and check the selected tool’s treatment of custom tables and configuration.

Dynamics 365 Sales Backup
Review recovery needs for sales records and configuration. Define supported backup coverage, retention and restoration testing with your selected tools.
Plan your solution01
Dynamics 365 Sales Backup
Understanding the solution
Sales records are held in Dataverse, but a usable recovery plan must also consider relationships, attachments, customisations and connected services. Digital Cloud can compare the environment’s native backup options with additional tooling against your required recovery scenarios and history.
Backup and recovery must be defined for the actual objects and systems in scope. A completed backup is useful only if authorized people can restore the required information within acceptable limits.
Capabilities and scope
Separate retention from recovery
Backup retention controls which historical recovery points remain available. It does not by itself provide record-level restore, a document archive or a complete copy of every connected system.
Rehearse restoration
Choose an authorised recovery target, pause integrations where necessary and test the supported restore procedure. Validate record counts, relationships, permissions and subsequent synchronisation before normal work resumes.
A practical example
An incorrect import changes opportunity values across a team. The exercise checks how to recover the affected data while protecting valid changes made after the chosen recovery point.
What your project can deliver
- Backup coverage and exclusions matrix
- Retention and restore requirements
- Documented recovery exercise with findings
The final deliverables, licensing and responsibilities are agreed for your environment before implementation.

Requirements and considerations
Confirm supported objects, retention, storage location, encryption, access and restoration options with the selected tools. Agree recovery objectives and test them; coverage differs between products.

Project priorities
Sales data coverage
Retention choices
Recovery exercises
We begin with a conversation about the task, the people involved and the systems already in place. Together we identify what a useful result would look like and which dependencies need attention first. The agreed proposal sets the delivery boundaries, responsibilities and acceptance criteria.
Your engagement
How Digital Cloud can help
| Project phase | What happens |
|---|---|
| 01Define the design | Translate the requirements into a practical design. Confirm product choices, interfaces, permissions and the responsibilities needed to operate the solution. |
| 02Deliver in stages | Configure or implement the agreed scope, test representative workflows and resolve material issues. Plan user communication and any controlled transition from existing systems. |
| 03Prepare for ongoing operation | Confirm acceptance, document the relevant configuration and prepare the people responsible for daily use. Define maintenance and support arrangements before handover. |

Questions before you start
Can we restore just one opportunity?
That depends on the selected product. Native environment restoration and granular record recovery are different operations; supported scope and relationship handling must be verified before selecting a solution.
What determines the cost and schedule?
The starting environment, integrations, user groups and agreed outputs determine the effort. We confirm scope and commercial terms before work begins. Software licenses, infrastructure consumption and ongoing support may be separate items.
What will we receive?
The proposal identifies the deliverables: these may include findings, a prioritized roadmap, a tested configuration, a prototype, documentation or training. We agree what is included and how completion will be assessed.
Can this work with our existing systems?
We review the actual applications, data sources and access requirements before recommending an integration. Dependencies and compatibility limits are recorded so the delivery plan reflects your environment.
What happens after the initial work?
You can use the findings to guide your own team or discuss a follow-on phase. Any maintenance, monitoring or support includes separately agreed service hours, responsibilities and response targets.
