Does Workforce.com back up data?
Yes. Workforce.com creates an encrypted backup every night to protect against data loss, to maintain a strong Disaster Resilience posture we take a backup of all data once every 24 hours. We classify these backups as Cold data, and they are retained for 7 days only.
Workforce.com is also able to restore in a granular 5 minute incremental format referred to as the point-in-time backups. We retain 35 days of point-in-time backups meaning we can guarantee in the face of system wide data corruption we can revert to a period 5 minutes prior to the corruption event.
