# How Do I Restore Custom Settings

Restoring a Salesforce custom setting is a simple process once you understand:

* Each custom setting is kept in a Salesforce SObject where the sobject has a extra flag indicating that it is a Custom Setting.

A custom setting restore is a two step process.

## Step 1: Restore the Custom Setting SObject

The first step is to restore the SObject.

* Goto the CopyStorm/Restore MetaData tab
* Search for the custom setting table in the list of CustomObjects.
* Restore the table.

After this step your target Salesforce will contain the custom setting but no values will be set for the setting.

## Step 2: Restore the Custom Setting Data

This step restores the customer setting data using CopyStorm/Restore (just like any other table).

* Goto the Restore Set Editor Tab
* Select the table associated with the custom setting.
* Make sure the “All” record selected is active.
* Run the restore.
