# Count Records

The CopyStorm/Medic Count Records tool performs a comparison of object record counts in Salesforce versus CopyStorm. This tool is provided as a sanity check for backup validation, to provide assurance that CopyStorm is copying all records properly.

## Run Count Records in a GUI

To access the Count Records GUI:

* Select “Other Tools” from the top-level menu.
* Select “Database Validation”, then “Count Records”

The UI for the Count Records tool contains four parts:

* The left-hand side of the dialog is used to select the tables to scan.
* The top part of the dialog has the following parameters:
  * of Tables to Process Concurrently.
    * Specifies how many tables the tool will process in parallel. Higher values may improve performance but increase resource usage.
  * Output To CSV *(checkbox).*
    * If checked, headless runs of Count Records will output tool results to STDOUT and Database Logs in CSV-compliant format.
* The lower part of the dialog displays the progress of a record count analysis as it happens.
* If an error is detected, a button will appear in the lower right hand corner. Click on the button to see error details and/or export the errors to a file.
