Export files are available to download for 48 hours after completion via the “Export Report” in Shape’s reporting section.
No, once the files have been removed from the “Export Report,” there is no way for either customers or support to recover or download them. Exports must be re-generated.
Data Export jobs are queued and jobs are processed on a first-in-first-out basis. These queues are based on the data export size. Heavy traffic can delay an export delivery and time to completion may be variable. Depending on the size of your export and current traffic on the instance, the magnitude of variation in time to completion can be up to 24 hours.
If you are attempting to download more than your plan’s export limit during peak business hours, your report will be generated after hours to download the following day. If your export is taking an uncharacteristic or exceedingly long amount of time to complete, consider whether you have added new objects to the export request or if your organization has done a large data upload recently.
Depending on the size of your export files, you can only be on different queues. Exports files with lesser data will be on small queues, and larger data exports will be on the larger queues.
Plan ahead. Since you cannot estimate how many requests are ahead of your org, kick off the export ahead of deadlines so that you have a sufficient buffer. Choose only those objects, whose data you actually need. Reducing your export file size will definitely help in getting you to the smaller queues which would improve queue wait times.
