How to archive all data (+docs) after cloud license termination

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Our business has been acquired by a larger competitor who will no longer use D365 (they're an SAP shop).  What are our options for archiving the entirety of our D365 F&O database, including documents, for archiving purposes?  The IRS and several States require that you maintain all data, including docs, for 3-7 years for audit purposes.  We need to be able to maintain historical data, and query it.  However, we will not be actively using D365 for ongoing transactions.

    Hi Klondike55,

    I have no experience with this situation.

    For the data, you can download a backup of the database. Probably you can contact Microsoft Support for the best option to get a copy of the documents which are stored on Azure Storage in a container linked to your current environment.
