# Export data from Dedicated Cloud

Export the data managed in your W\&B Dedicated Cloud instance, such as runs, metrics, artifacts, and reports, when you need a portable copy for backup, migration, or external analysis. To extract this data, use the W\&B SDK API with the [Import and Export API](/models/ref/python/public-api/). The following table covers some key export use cases.

| Purpose                  | Documentation                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Export project metadata  | [Projects API](/models/ref/python/public-api/projects)                                                                                                                                                        |
| Export runs in a project | [Runs API](/models/ref/python/public-api/runs)                                                                                                                                                                |
| Export reports           | [Report and Workspace API](/models/reports/clone-and-export-reports/)                                                                                                                                         |
| Export artifacts         | [Explore artifact graphs](/models/artifacts/explore-and-traverse-an-artifact-graph/), [Download and use artifacts](/models/artifacts/download-and-use-an-artifact/#download-and-use-an-artifact-stored-on-wb) |

If you manage artifacts stored in the Dedicated Cloud with [Secure Storage Connector](/platform/app/settings-page/teams/#secure-storage-connector), you might not need to export the artifacts using the W\&B SDK API.

<Note>
  Using the W\&B SDK API to export all of your data can be slow if you have many runs, artifacts, and similar resources. W\&B recommends running the export process in appropriately sized batches to avoid overwhelming your Dedicated Cloud instance.
