Exam Certified Data Architect topic 1 question 36 discussion

Correct Answer is B

B is correct.

Not A - This would remove all data. Not C - This would unnecessarily move recent data off-platform. Not D - Backups are primarily for disaster recovery, not long-term archiving. B - Selective archiving of older than two years record and data is still available for historical reporting.

B. Build a batch job to move two-year-old records off platform, and delete old records from Salesforce. This approach aligns with UC’s requirement to maintain two years of data in Salesforce and archive older data out of Salesforce. The batch job can be scheduled to run periodically to move records that are more than two years old off the platform, and then delete those records from Salesforce to free up storage.

B. This is backing up 2yr old data and then deleting it, which is what was asked. Not A. This is literally destroying all of the data. Good way to get sued. Not C. We do not need to move active data over. This could cause duplicates in the backup system without a sophisticated matching system. Best to let the data age out if we're using a batch job. Not D. This only solves for backing up the data, but it doesn't archive it off the system. For clarity "archive" = backup in an external system and delete from salesforce.

B the old records are archived out and deleted from Salesforce

As A Band C have delete keyword they cannot be ans as questiin tell to archive. So D is correct

why not C?

THe backup solution (D) is fine, but does not delete the old data. So B is the correct answer.
