Data export

You can export a farm while you have access to it, including after cancelling a subscription.

Download an archive

  1. Open the farm and choose More → Import/Export.
  2. Select Generate archive.
  3. Wait for Ready to download, then choose Download ZIP.

You can leave the page while the server prepares it. The archive is available for 24 hours; after that, generate another. Exporting does not remove your Cloud data.

What is included

The ZIP contains structured JSON Lines, CSV tables, relationship tables, and original farm-linked files. It includes retained animals and identifiers, groups, records and their associations, inactive history, feeding and chute records, schedules, imports, accessible conversations, memories and authorized change history. There is no 10,000-record cap.

The manifest lists the table counts and file checksums. CSV values are escaped for spreadsheet use; the JSON preserves the original values. Keep the whole ZIP together if you plan to restore it.

Privacy boundary

Your archive includes shared conversations and your own private conversations. It excludes other members' private conversations and associated private payloads, account login information, provider credentials and unrelated farms. Personal-only files and support or billing account history are outside this farm archive. The manifest describes these boundaries.

Farm access is checked again when you download. An archive prepared for you is not downloadable by another farm member. Store the downloaded ZIP somewhere private: it contains farm records and may include your conversations.

If an export fails

The status shows a failure if an original file is missing or unreadable. A partial archive is not labelled complete. Follow the error shown, then generate another archive. Ask support for help recovering a missing Cloud file. The private pilot supports up to 50 GiB of expanded contents; contact support if a farm exceeds the limit.
