Salesforce Application Architect Data-Architect Question # 12 Topic 2 Discussion

Option B is the most appropriate approach for data archiving in this scenario1. By aggregating order amount data at a summary level and storing it in a custom object, you can reduce data storage and still provide visibility to the Sales Reps on how much money each customer generates year-over-year. Option A is not correct because storing data in a zip file does not make it available in Salesforce. Option C is not correct because exporting and deleting orders and order line items may lose important details that are needed for analysis or reporting. Option D is not correct because deleting orders and order line items without exporting them may cause data loss or inconsistency if the customer does not have order information in another system.
