#Export and Download Your Data

AvePoint Cloud Backup helps you export and download your backup data for Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Microsoft 365 Groups, Project Online, Public Folders, Teams, Teams Chat, Viva Engage, Power BI, Power Automate or Power Apps. After you export your data, you can navigate to the Job Monitor to download the exported data to a local location. You can stop a running export job as needed.

For customers with more than 100 purchased user seats, you can export up to 500 GB of data per month for all services in total by default. For customers with 100 or less purchased user seats, the monthly limitation is 100 GB. The exported data must be downloaded within seven days; otherwise, the data will be removed. This quota limitation also applies to the BYOS subscription.

*Note: The generic lists will be exported to CSV files with the metadata of their folders and items. The item’s attachments will be exported as individual files, and the links will be displayed in the following format: LinkDisplayName(WebAddress) in the exported CSV file.

Note that the path limit for the exported file (cannot be over 260 characters) has been erased on the Cloud Backup side since November 2020 release. If you cannot extract the exported file with Windows built-in “Extract” utility, try with a decompression software, like 7-Zip.

If you are using your own Azure Blob Storage, note that the Export job cannot export the backup data from archive tier.

A password is used to protect your exported data. After the data has been successfully exported, the account that performs the export job and the email addresses configured for Notification Settings (regardless of which job status is) will receive an email that notifies them to get the password through Job Monitor for extracting the exported data.

*Note: You can configure a set of email notification settings for the restore and export jobs, separate from the backup. For details, refer to Configure Notifications.

For the object levels of each service type that are supported for exporting backup data, refer to the Restore Options for Different Object Types section.
