The native JSON format is the recommended format for backups — it round-trips cleanly through the importer.

Before exporting you can narrow the data:

FilterOptions
StatusApproved only, or all comments (including pending and rejected)
Date rangeFrom and to dates
Page IDRestrict to a single page
  1. Open the Sites tab and expand the export accordion for your site.
  2. Choose the format and set any filters.
  3. Click Export — the browser will download the file directly.

Exports stream from the server, so large datasets do not require the entire result set to be held in memory.
