If they're trying to 'remove outdated information,' I hope they're not just deleting it all willy-nilly. That's a surefire way to end up in the doghouse with the sales team.

Option D with the full copy sandbox? That's like using a bazooka to swat a fly. Talk about overkill!

Using a formula field to identify old records and then exporting to SharePoint? That's a creative approach, I'll give them that. But I'm not sure it's the most robust solution.

I don't know, the time-based workflow in Option B sounds pretty interesting too. Automation is key when it comes to archiving, you know?

True, automation is definitely key. Option B with the time-based workflow could also be a good solution for archiving.
