Different ways to create an export task
Using the Export page is the most general way to create an export task. Here, you can export any
backup, or archive you have permission to access.
You can access the Export page from the Vaults view. Right-click the object to export (archive or
backup) and select Export from the context menu. The Export page will be opened with the pre-
selected object as a source. All you need to do is to select a destination and (optionally) provide a
name for the task.
To export an archive or a backup perform the following steps.
General
Task name
[Optional] Enter a unique name for the task. A conscious name lets you quickly identify the
task among the others.
Task credentials (p. 239)
[Optional] The export task will run on behalf of the user who is creating the task. You can
change the task credentials if necessary. To access this option, select the Advanced view
check box.
