Your data can be backed up at any time using the [[Backup Data]] feature - in essence this is a wholesale copy of the system data which you can download. The [[Update Replica Databases]] feature also allows a wholesale copy of the system, except in this case, the copy is made to another Crossdata system. When the [[Backup Data]] option is used, the data is downloaded in SQL format, and is not encrypted, so this could represent a significant security risk if not properly controlled.

The system keeps an audit of when the [[Backup Data]] feature is used, as well as the [[Update Replica Databases]] feature (because once the data is copied to a replica system, it could also be downloaded from there), and this report is the output for that audit record. Backups of uploaded documents are also audited in this way because uploaded document backups also allow the user to download readable data.
