Selecting Your Backup Preferences – Salesforce

3. Enter the daily Salesforce API usage limit in the Throughput field. The default value is 0.75 and the maximum value is 1.0, which corresponds to the fraction of the total daily API limit (75% and 100% respectively).
4. In order to provide the granular search and restore functions, the data is unencrypted temporarily to build the search index. Once the index is built, both the data and the index are encrypted. By default, Index all data for search checkbox is checked and your archives will be indexed for use in the granular search and restore function. Uncheck the Index all data for search checkbox if you do not want indexing to occur. This will disable the granular search and restore function, but you can still browse backups via date.

Note: The CloudAlly application performs indexing process for 
all items except for attachments.

• The fields Backup Datacenter and Retention Period are “display only” and their values can’t be changed here. The Backup Datacenter field displays the Data Center location you have selected during your registration with CloudAlly. The Retention Period field displays "Unlimited" since in SalesForce we provide unlimited retention of your daily backups for as long as you maintain your account subscription.
