Understanding Data Archive (Codeunit 600) in Business Central

Imagine you’ve got a filing cabinet full of old customer records.
Your boss says, “Delete everything older than 5 years to save space.”
But what if you suddenly NEED those records?
You need them gone but also kept.

That’s exactly what Data Archive does.
It’s like taking a photograph of your records before shredding them.

Let me walk you through this out-of-the-box functionality Microsoft built for archiving almost EVERYTHING in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central:

✅ Archive before delete
✅ Works on custom tables
✅ Saves everything as JSON
✅ Export as Excel or CSV
✅ Full walkthrough with working code
