# Exporting for Backup

<Note>Exporting for backup is available on paid plans. [Learn more about our plans and pricing](https://rive.app/pricing?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=content).</Note>

Exporting a file for backup is useful when you want a hard copy of your file saved to your device, if you are looking to transfer a file from one user to another, or you're trying to send in a file for a support ticket. Unlike files exported for runtime (.riv), files exported for backup (.rev) contain all of the information that is typically stripped from the file.\

To export a file for backup, you can either do this from the file browser, or from the file menu when the file is open.

## Exporting from the file browser

To export a backup file from the file browser, first, find the file that you want to download.

## Exporting from the file menu

To export a backup file, when the file is open, first, click on the file menu. Next, find the export option and select "for backup".
