GRAX 3.70
The GRAX Virtual Appliance
Public beta of the GRAX Virtual Appliance (GXVA) is now available. The GRAX Virtual Appliance is the latest evolution of GRAX. Simply put, you can run GRAX inside your own public cloud infrastructure. Instead of having GRAX provision and manage the AWS infrastructure that is running behind the scenes, we can now reach into your AWS world and do that work for you there. This latest version of GRAX has been developed to solve some of the challenges that our bigger customers have been bringing to us.

Single Record Restore
The new GRAX Single Record Restore component provides a powerful point-in-time restore capability to end users in Salesforce. Users will be able to quickly preview different versions against the current data in Salesforce and choose which fields to restore. Imagine loading an opportunity record and quickly seeing at a glance all the backed up versions of the opportunity to understand the rate of change, as well as preview data against the new live version to understand what exactly has changed. Finally, the user can restore all or restore only specific fields and their historical values. Click here to start exploring the documentation. Existing GRAX customers should reach out to their GRAX Support representative to get access to this new feature.
Archive Bulk API Support
Looking to leverage Salesforce's highly performant Bulk API to delete your data as part of a GRAX Archive process? Reach out to GRAX Support today to inquire about the beta feature. This can be especially helpful if you're looking to delete a single object that does not live within a complex hierarchy. There are various considerations when you're looking to archive data within your customized Salesforce environment, so if you have any questions, remember to check the best practices and feel free to schedule a call with the GRAX Support team to learn more.
Archive Default Date Filters
When creating a GRAX Archive, you will no longer see the
Datefilter option defaulted with today's start date and end date. You will need to proactively choose your filter and date options, before being allowed to Save.
Salesforce API Version
GRAX now leverages Salesforce API version 51, which among other things will allow backup for the
AssessmentIndicatorDefinitionobject.
Search Fixes
Fixed issue where duplicate IDs were sometimes showing up in GRAX Search results.
Fixed issue with searching for ContentDocumentLinks.
3.71
Archive Estimation
The GRAX Archive tool provides users the ability to create complex filters that define very specific archive rules. GRAX Archive now includes the ability for you to estimate the number of records that a specific job would impact.
Archive Dry Run
Run the complete backup phase of your job to get the full picture of records that will be impacted by an Archive. Updated Archive Options now allow you to run the complete backup portion of the Archive Job, giving you the ability to get full record counts before the delete is processed.
Fix DateTime on Single Record Restore
An issue where rendering the date field in the Single Record Restore Lightning Web Component has been closed. Now, when previewing the field data it renders the correct date formatted string.
Fix Attachment Hierarchy in Archive
Now when you open an existing Archive Attachment or ContentVersion job for Edit, the hierarchy tree will load correctly.
Deprecated Support for CollaborationGroupRecord
CollaborationGroupRecord object type has been added to the list of Unsupported Objects for backup.

Archive BULK API Delete new Generally Available
GRAX Archive allows you to create a schedule that will capture the last version of record and then delete this record (and the related object tree) to reclaim this storage space in your Salesforce environment. This provides a much more predictable spend on Salesforce data storage and can help to improve performance of your Salesforce org.
This feature is Generally Available in the 3.72 release.
Specify you wish to use the Bulk API delete feature in the Archive Options section the Archive job configuration. Requires the Bulk API Hard Delete permission being applied to the GRAX Integration user.
GRAX Notifications
Recently Google Chrome was updated to remove support for Javascript Alerts and Confirmation popups in certain cross domain situations, such as the iFrames that GRAX uses in parts of the application to render the UI.
To support this enhancement, GRAX 3.72 in the Lightning UI now uses toast messages and modal windows for user feedback.
Salesforce V51.0 Apex update
The Salesforce version of the Apex Classes in the managed package has been updated to v51.0 to support backup of new objects in the Salesforce data model.
Single Record Restore Updates
The Single Record Restore component has had some minor fixes on display and restore function.
Archive Job Load Fix
When an archive job is loaded the related object hierarchy is loaded to allow the user control over what records are included in the archive. There was a UI bug with loading this control when an object with no relationships was selected for archive that is fixed with the 3.72 release.
Email on Backend Delete
When a user had enabled backend delete in their Archive Options the email notification flag was being ignored. This has been fixed with the 3.72 release.
3.72.1
