Export guides

Free, complete, do-it-yourself guides for getting your data out of dying software — including what the built-in export covers and what it leaves behind. No email wall.

How to use these

Each guide starts with where your product actually stores its data — the database, the document folders, the attachments and audit trails that live outside the screens you use every day. Knowing what exists is the first half of getting it out.

From there, the guide walks through the fullest export the product offers, step by step, and is honest about the gaps: most built-in exports carry the records you can see and quietly leave behind history, custom fields, and linked documents. Where the built-in export falls short, we say so, and note what a deeper extraction would involve.

The last section of every guide covers verification — comparing record counts against the source and spot-checking what came out, so you know what you have before the software stops running. If you'd rather not spend the weekends on it, every guide has a matching fixed-price Rescue Kit.
