The export worker can be used to generate allow the export of all data contained in the cozy. At the end of the export, a mail is sent to the user containing a link to access to its data.

The progress of the export process can be followed with realtime events on the doctype io.cozy.exports.

Its options are:

• parts_size: the size in bytes of the sizes index splitting done for multi-part download of files data
• max_age: the maximum age duration of the archive before it expires
• with_doctypes: list of string for a whitelist of doctypes to exports (exports all doctypes if empty)
• without_files: boolean to avoid exporting the index (preventing download file data)

Example¶

{
    "parts_size": 52428800,
    "max_age": 60000000000, // 1 minute
    "with_doctypes": ["io.cozy.accounts"], // empty or null means all doctypes

2. share-replicate, to start a replicator for most documents
3. share-upload, to upload files

Share-track¶

The message is composed of 3 fields: the sharing ID, the rule index, and the doctype. The event is similar to a realtime event: a verb, a document, and optionaly the old version of this document.

Share-replicate and share-upload¶

The message is composed of a sharing ID and a count of the number of errors (i.e. the number of times this job was retried).
