About Our Workday Backup Solution

Workday is the heart of HR, payroll, and finance operations, holding sensitive employee and financial data that powers daily business continuity. But because its environment is constantly updated with new records, system refreshes, and user edits, even small mistakes can have large consequences.

Zoom Backup for Workday protects every tenant, configuration, and data set with precision. We capture changes in real time, validate data integrity, and let you restore environments or individual records whenever needed.

Our visual interface gives teams clarity and control. You can see exactly what’s being backed up and recover information confidently without relying on manual exports or formal Workday requests. It’s enterprise data protection, made intuitive.

What’s Included in Your Workday Backup

Each backup is verified for consistency, ensuring that HR and finance teams can restore full environments or granular records seamlessly.

1. Employee records, roles, and payroll data
2. Compensation, benefits, and performance reviews
3. Finance, vendor, and supplier data
4. Organizational hierarchies and cost centers
5. Reports, dashboards, and integrations
6. Security groups, user access logs, and audit trails
7. Configuration and setup metadata for tenants

Does Workday Recommend External Backups?

Yes. Workday does not allow standard exports from production or sandbox tenants without formal requests, and native options are limited.
The platform’s own documentation recommends that customers manage their own data protection strategies.

Teams typically adopt external backup for these reasons:

1. Limited Export Control: Only users with specific roles can export certain tenants. External backups provide continuous protection without waiting for Workday approvals.
2. Tenant Refresh Risks: After a sandbox refresh, valuable data can be overwritten. External backup ensures you can roll back easily.
3. Compliance and Auditing: For HR and financial data, audit readiness is essential. Keeping immutable off-platform backups simplifies compliance with internal and regulatory requirements.
4. Backup Frequency Limits: Only five backups are allowed within a three-week period, and backups older than three weeks are automatically deleted.
5. No Export Tracking: Workday does not keep track of your export files, making it your responsibility to organize and track them.

Zoom Backup ensures Workday customers never lose control of their most sensitive data and can restore peace of mind in a platform where every record matters.
