# Export a Backup to a Snowflake Data Warehouse

You can export a full backup or a backup of selected objects to a Snowflake Data Warehouse.

Before uploading data to Snowflake, a Data Warehouse must be created to store the data. For information on creating the Snowflake Data Warehouse, see the [Create Warehouse](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/warehouses.html) Snowflake support article.
