# Archive Incremental Export

Rather than exporting the entire dataset from the Archive managed package every time, export only the data that was changed or added since the last export.

Note This content relates to Archive. For Salesforce Archive, see [Store Data Externally with Salesforce Archive](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.archive_overview.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

In Archive the incremental export runs each day and exports as much as possible in a 23-hour period. The next day, a new incremental export begins, starting after the last recorded exported record of the previous day. The incremental export can take some time to catch up on all the data in Archive, depending on how much data has accumulated before the incremental export was initiated.

After it catches up, only newly archived data is exported. There can be days when the incremental export doesn't run.

When you export to your Amazon S3 bucket or Azure Blob Container, you can select specific objects.

Note You can only export to storage that matches your account platform, such as S3 Bucket for AWS or Azure Blob for Azure.

The next daily export reviews all records in the archive, exporting only the records that match the selection criteria. This export is done in daily runs up to 23 hours, until all the data in the archive is covered, and any new data is exported as it’s detected.
