Final answer:

There are several common ways administrators can back up Salesforce data, including using reports, custom objects, and scheduled backups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Administrators can back up Salesforce data using several common methods:

  1. Reports: Salesforce allows administrators to create and schedule reports that include data from different objects. These reports can be exported and saved as a backup.
  2. Custom objects: Administrators can use data loader tools or other Salesforce backup applications to extract and save data from custom objects.
  3. Scheduled backups: Salesforce provides options to schedule regular backups of your data. This can be done using the Salesforce Data Export service or through third-party backup tools.

While manual backups are possible by exporting data manually, it is not recommended as a primary backup method due to the possibility of human error.
