Salesforce Sandbox Types

 A sandbox is a very important tool in Salesforce for testing and development without affecting your live instance what types of Sandboxes you have 

        


     Developer Sandbox

   
  •  Developer sandboxes are special configuration sandboxes intended for coding and testing by a single developer.
  •  Multiple users can log into a single Developer sandbox, but their primary purpose is to provide an environment in which changes under active development can be isolated until they’re ready to be shared. Just like Developer Pro sandboxes.
  •  Developer sandboxes copy all application and configuration information to the sandbox.
  •  Developer sandboxes are limited to 200 MB of test or sample data, which is enough for many development and testing tasks.

              You can refresh a Developer sandbox once per day.

      Developer Pro Sandbox
         
  •  Developer Pro sandboxes copy all of your production organization's reports, dashboards, price books, products, apps, and customization's under Setup, but exclude all of your organization's standard and custom object records, documents, and attachments.
  •  Creating a Developer Pro sandbox can decrease the time it takes to create or refresh a sandbox from several hours to just a few minutes, but it can only include up to 1 GB of data.

              You can refresh a Developer Pro sandbox once per day.


      Partial Data Sandbox

  •  A Partial Data sandbox is a Developer sandbox plus the data you define in a sandbox template. It includes the reports, dashboards, price books, products, apps, and customizations under Setup.
  •  Partial Data sandboxes can include your organization's standard and custom object records, documents, and attachments up to 5 GB of data and a maximum of 10,000 records per selected object.
  •  A Partial Data sandbox is smaller than a Full sandbox and has a shorter refresh interval. 

        You can refresh a Partial Data sandbox every 5 days.

       
      Full Sandbox
     
           Full sandboxes copy your entire production organization and all its data, including standard and custom object records, documents, and attachments.

           You can refresh a Full sandbox every 29 days.
