Data Encryption Notice: If you require data encryption, you may enable it using a public-private key mechanism. By default, if server-side encryption is enabled on your buckets, data transfer is secured via HTTPS, ensuring security in transit. However, if you choose to proceed with additional encryption, you will need to generate a key pair and share it as specified in our protocol.
In the Dataset Preference screen, choose the datasets that you want to export as part of the schedule.
Once Export Configurations and Dataset Preferences are selected, click Apply Changes.
This completes the setup and redirects you to the Export Logs page, that you can use for tracking your export status. On this page, you can also modify your Configuration if required.
