How can we upload data while refreshing sandboxes..

Hi,

 

Is it possible to upload the data when we are refreshing one sandbox to other

i.e when i'm refreshing my one sandbox to other then all the data from should move from one sandbox to another sandbox.

 

If possible then what are different ways to acheive this like through data loader or any Apex code for loading test data into sandboxes as a part of the refresh process

You can not refresh one sandbox to another. You can refresh from prod to sandbox, while refreshing the sandbox data will be copied if it is a full sandbox, for dev/config sandbox only code will be migrated from Prod to the sandbox.

Also, on the dev/config sandbox you cannot move all the prod data as there is data limit on dev sandbox.
From one sandbox to another sandbox you can move the code using the eclipse ide, ant or change sets.
Neither approach will move the data.
you can use data loader tool or other etl tools like informatica cloud to move data from 1 sandbox to another.
Also, if you are planning to use the data loader then you will have to do some transformations in csv files (vlookup) to maintain the relationships
