Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Creating validation rules to check if the required attributes are entered is the best option to mandate this when customers are created in Salesforce. Validation rules allow you to specify criteria that must be met before a record can be saved. You can use validation rules to ensure that customers have a first name, last name, and email when they are created in Salesforce. This way, you can prevent incomplete or invalid data from being sent to your MDM solution.

I practiced a similar question where we had to decide between ETL and API methods. I feel like option B might be too complex for daily backups.

Whoa, this is a tricky one. There are a lot of moving parts to consider - the existing weekly backup process, the need for daily backups, and the restore capability. I'm going to have to really focus and make sure I understand all the details before selecting an answer.

Okay, I've got a strategy here. I'm going to carefully evaluate each option and consider factors like ease of implementation, cost, and the specific requirements mentioned in the question. I think I can narrow this down to the best solution.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions moving to daily backups, but it's not clear to me which of these options would be the best approach. I'll need to think through the pros and cons of each choice.

I think we should also consider the time it takes to extract and restore the data using this method. It should be efficient and not impact our daily operations.
