Exporting Data from the Connected Desktop

You can use the Export Data feature in Connected Desktop to create a backup copy of your SmartVault data files on your local computer. Even though SmartVault automatically backs up your data, backup copies can be helpful if you need to work on a client's file but do not have Internet access or just want to create a copy for offline storage.

To export your data:

1. In Connected Desktop, make sure you are in the Clients view.
2. Click on File in the main menu and choose Export data... The Export Data window opens. 

     Note

   If a client is already selected in the Client List, that client will automatically be exported by default.

3. Choose "Include all X clients" to export all client records in your SmartVault account or "Include 1 selected client(s)" to export the selected record.
4. Click Browse…, select your computer's destination folder, and click OK.
5. When the export is complete, a window displays a confirmation message indicating that the export was successful.
6. Click Exit, then check the local destination folder to verify the files downloaded correctly.
