Cloud Backup for Salesforce® now supports data archiving to help you optimize your Salesforce storage usage. When data is archived, it is removed from your Salesforce environment but can be restored from Cloud Backup for Salesforce® whenever needed.
The archiving process moves Salesforce data to the recycle bin instead of permanently deleting it. Data in the recycle bin does not count against your subscription quota. If you prefer to permanently delete data immediately during the archive job and bypass the recycle bin, refer to Configure Archive Deletion Settings to enable hard deletion for organizations.
The recycle bin can hold up to 25 times your storage capacity in records. For instance, an organization with 2GB of storage can store up to 50,000 records in the recycle bin. However, the recycle bin has a maximum limit of 10,000 records. If 20,000 records are deleted, only the most recent 10,000 records will be retained, and any additional records will be automatically removed.
