00:00:01.242 --> 00:00:06.562
Your business's data belongs to you. In this episode we take a complete copy of it,

2
00:00:06.562 --> 00:00:09.383
in an encrypted file that only you can open.

3
00:00:10.750 --> 00:00:15.582
On the business page, scroll down to the Export your data card. It makes an

4
00:00:15.582 --> 00:00:20.930
encrypted archive of everything: the database, your files, and a check of the audit

5
00:00:20.930 --> 00:00:21.445
journal.

6
00:00:21.595 --> 00:00:26.684
There is one optional box: Encrypt to my own key. If you already have an age key,

7
00:00:26.684 --> 00:00:31.837
paste its public part here. We leave it empty, so the console makes a one-time key

8
00:00:31.837 --> 00:00:32.277
for us.

9
00:00:33.474 --> 00:00:34.629
Press Request an export.

10
00:00:36.424 --> 00:00:42.660
A dialog shows the key, which starts with AGE dash SECRET dash KEY. This is the only

11
00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:48.525
time you will ever see it. Without it nobody can open the archive, not even us.

12
00:00:48.675 --> 00:00:53.240
Copy it into a password manager or write it somewhere safe. Then tick the box that

13
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.411
says you have saved it, and press Done.

14
00:00:56.813 --> 00:01:01.546
The export is built in the background. The card lists it, and we refresh it until it

15
00:01:01.546 --> 00:01:03.574
is ready. This takes a little while.

16
00:01:05.129 --> 00:01:10.097
It is ready. The card shows how many rows and files the archive holds, says the

17
00:01:10.097 --> 00:01:14.688
audit journal was verified, and tells you until when you can download it.

18
00:01:14.838 --> 00:01:20.433
Press Download. The file ends in dot tar dot gz dot age, because it is a compressed

19
00:01:20.433 --> 00:01:22.320
archive, encrypted with age.

20
00:01:23.673 --> 00:01:29.303
To open it, use age, a free tool, with the key you saved. Inside is a manifest, the

21
00:01:29.303 --> 00:01:33.305
database tables, and your files. A wrong key opens nothing.

22
00:01:34.337 --> 00:01:39.227
Keep the file and the key in different places. Anyone who has both has your data.

23
00:01:39.227 --> 00:01:42.065
Exports are a good habit before any big change.

24
00:01:43.865 --> 00:01:48.531
The last episode is for the people who run the platform: the operator console.
