Option B seems pretty straightforward - identify an archive location and use time-based workflows to move the data. That could work, but Option A with the scheduled batch jobs sounds a bit more robust to me.

Hah, a full copy sandbox as an archive? Option D is a bit overkill, don't you think? Might as well just print out all the data and store it in the janitor's closet.

I personally think C) is the best solution. Using a formula field to identify records reaching a defined age can help with effective data management.

I'm not sure about Option C. Relying on a formula field and exporting to SharePoint? Sounds a bit convoluted. Why not just use a dedicated archiving solution like Option A or B?

Option D is the one that's got me scratching my head. Using a full copy sandbox as a source for archived data? That doesn't sound like the most efficient or practical solution to me.

Option C is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure a formula field and a report export is the best way to go about this. It seems a bit of a workaround, and we'd have to maintain that formula field and report on an ongoing basis.

I'm not too sure about option B. Moving data to a location using a time-based workflow seems a bit more complex than the batch job approach. Plus, we'd still need to figure out where to store the archived data.

Okay, let's go through the options. Option A seems like a good fit - we can identify a location to store the archived data and use scheduled batch jobs to migrate and purge the aged data. That way, we're keeping the data but removing it from the main Salesforce instance.
