Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Identifying a location to store archived data and using scheduled batch jobs to migrate and purge the aged data on a nightly basis can be a way to meet the requirements for an archive solution. The article provides a use case of how to use Heroku Connect, Postgres, and Salesforce Connect to archive old data, free up space in the org, and still retain the option to unarchive the data if needed. The article also explains how this solution can improve Salesforce performance and meet data retention policies.

Third-party backup apps are the way to go. Can't trust Salesforce to keep my data safe? Time to bring in the professionals!

Haha, 'Weekly Extract Service' - sounds like a fancy name for Excel exports. No thanks, I'll take a modern backup solution over that any day.

Ha, 'shadow custom objects'? That's a creative idea, but I don't think it's the most practical solution. I'd go with D and let the experts handle the backup and recovery.

I'm torn between A and D. Daily extracts to on-premise systems could work, but a dedicated backup app might be more robust and feature-rich. Hmm, tough choice!

Option D looks like the best approach to me. Using a third-party backup solution like OwnBackup or Spanning seems like the most reliable way to meet the 1-day SLA for data loss.
