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.

Weekly extracts? That doesn't sound like a good SLA to me.

A daily extract job is a solid plan, but it might be too much overhead.

I recall that daily extracts might not be the best for quick recovery, so I’m leaning towards option D, but I need to double-check the features of those apps.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this, and I lean towards option C, but storing data in shadow objects seems a bit complex.

I think option D sounds familiar; we talked about third-party apps in class, but I’m unsure if they meet the 1-day SLA requirement.

I'm leaning towards Option D, evaluating a third-party backup solution. Those apps are designed specifically for Salesforce and may offer more robust features than a homegrown approach.

Option A looks like the most comprehensive approach, building a daily extract job to backup data off-platform. That should give us the fastest recovery time if we need to restore data.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The requirement for a 1-day SLA on data loss is pretty strict. I'll need to carefully consider the pros and cons of each approach to determine the best fit.

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!
