When setting up retention policies to control the database storage size, currently, it just purges that data. We'd like to have an option to set up an Azure Data Lake environment for BC historical data and update the retention policy parameters to move it to the ADL instead of purging it. That way you could have the last 2 years of historical data in the live system and then maintain the prior years in the ADL. Many customers must have 7-10 years of data (in particular some medical device customers) - but then that bloats their storage.

Thank you for this suggestion! Currently this is not on our roadmap. We are tracking this idea and if it gathers more votes and comments we will consider it in the future. Best regards, Business Central Team

The BC integration to Azure Data Lake (see Github project) is a must have requirement to enable external data access for analytics tools. This feature has already been included in F&O and Dataverse (CRM) Dynamics 365 products. Please vote to prioritise it for BC.

This feature would also be an enabler to move some of our larger customer to move to the MS Cloud!
