In order to either backup or, export your Bloomerang data, head to Organization Settings page in Boomerang.
Here, you’ll want to:
- Select ‘Settings’, and then choose ‘View All Settings’
- On the Organization tile, select ‘Edit’
- In the Database Export pane that appears, select ‘Create New Export’
This process can take up to a few minutes, and you are not required to stay on the screen while the export is being generated. Once the export is complete, you’ll see a ‘Download’ button will appear. If it’s been several minutes and nothing has appeared, simply refresh the web page.
