# Export your organization
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! warn ""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    If you're self-hosting Zulip, you may want to check out the
 | 
						|
    documentation on [server export and import][export-and-import] or
 | 
						|
    [server backups][production-backups].
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Zulip has high quality export tools that can be used to migrate between the
 | 
						|
hosted Zulip Cloud service and your own servers. Two types of data exports are
 | 
						|
available for all Zulip organizations:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* [**Export of public
 | 
						|
   data**](#export-for-migrating-to-zulip-cloud-or-a-self-hosted-server):
 | 
						|
   Complete data for your organization *other than* [private
 | 
						|
   channel](/help/channel-permissions) messages and [direct
 | 
						|
   messages](/help/direct-messages). This export includes user settings and
 | 
						|
   channel subscriptions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* [**Standard
 | 
						|
  export**](#export-for-migrating-to-zulip-cloud-or-a-self-hosted-server):
 | 
						|
  Everything in the export of public data, plus all the [private
 | 
						|
  channel](/help/channel-permissions) messages and [direct
 | 
						|
  messages](/help/direct-messages) that members who have
 | 
						|
  [allowed](#configure-whether-administrators-can-export-your-private-data)
 | 
						|
  administrators to export their private data can access.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Two additional types of data exports are available to **corporate** [Zulip Cloud
 | 
						|
Standard][plans] and [Zulip Cloud Plus][plans] customers:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[plans]: https://zulip.com/plans/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* [**Full export without member consent**](#full-export-without-member-consent):
 | 
						|
  All the data in the organization.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* [**Compliance export**](#compliance-export): A targeted, human-readable export
 | 
						|
  of messages matching some combination of criteria (e.g., sender, recipient,
 | 
						|
  message keyword, or timestamp).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Export for migrating to Zulip Cloud or a self-hosted server
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!admin-only.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!not-human-export-format.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{settings_tab|data-exports-admin}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Click **Start export**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Select the desired **Export type**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Click **Start export** to begin the export process. After a few minutes,
 | 
						|
   you'll be able to download the exported data from the list of
 | 
						|
   data exports.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Use [Zulip's logical data import tool][import-only] to import your data into
 | 
						|
   a self-hosted server. For Zulip Cloud imports, contact
 | 
						|
   [support@zulip.com](mailto:support@zulip.com).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! warn ""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Generating the export can take up to an hour for organizations
 | 
						|
    with a large number of messages or uploaded files.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{end_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Full export without member consent
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!owner-only.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!not-human-export-format.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!export-without-consent-requirements.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Email [support@zulip.com](mailto:support@zulip.com) with your
 | 
						|
   organization's `zulipchat.com` URL, asking for a **full export without
 | 
						|
   member consent**. Please send the email from the same address
 | 
						|
   that you use to sign in to Zulip, so that Zulip Support can verify
 | 
						|
   that you are an owner of the organization.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Once your authority to request the export has been verified, you will receive
 | 
						|
   an archive in the `.tar.gz` format containing all the information for your
 | 
						|
   organization.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Import the tarball using [Zulip's logical data import tool][import-only].
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{end_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Compliance export
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!owner-only.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This type of export is recommended if you plan to work with the exported data
 | 
						|
directly (e.g., reading messages or processing them with a script), rather than
 | 
						|
importing the export into a new Zulip organization.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!export-without-consent-requirements.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Email [support@zulip.com](mailto:support@zulip.com) asking for a **compliance
 | 
						|
   export**. Please send the email from the same address that you use to sign in
 | 
						|
   to Zulip, so that Zulip Support can verify that you are an owner of the
 | 
						|
   organization. You will need to specify:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      1. The `zulipchat.com` URL for your organization
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      2. What limits you would like on the export.  Currently, compliance
 | 
						|
         exports can apply any combination of the following filters:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         - Message sender
 | 
						|
         - Message recipient
 | 
						|
         - Message contents, by specific keywords
 | 
						|
         - Sent timestamp before, after, or between dates
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         If you need other limits, please ask.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      3. Your preferred format for the export: CSV or JSON.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      4. Whether or not you want to receive copies of all attachments referenced in
 | 
						|
         the exported messages.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. You will receive the requested information once your authority to request the
 | 
						|
   export has been verified.
 | 
						|
