# Export Data

Managing domain-wide settings for exporting network data

### Overview

Network administrators can export the full network data as an **XML file** or schedule automatic exports at regular intervals. The exported file includes details about the **network configuration, user information, projects, groups, events, ideas, status updates, and related data**.

{% hint style="info" %}
The exported XML file **does not** contain actual files. However, it includes **links to all stored files on the AWS server**.
{% endhint %}

The exported file can be downloaded from **Admin Portal > Home > Exported Data**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only the network admin who initiates the export will receive an email notification when the export is complete.
{% endhint %}

**Scheduled Exports**

Check the box to allow automatic exports based on a chosen schedule. This method also serves as a viable automatic network data backup.

**Set Export Frequency:** Choose from **Daily, Weekly, or Monthly** backups.

**Enable Email Notifications (Optional):** Check the box to notify all network admins via email when the scheduled export is complete and available for download. If disabled, admins can still access the file from **Admin Portal > Home >** [**Exported Data**](https://guides.mangoapps.com/admin-guide/home-1/exported-data).

Click **Save** to apply the selected settings.
