Hello @Geoffroy,

there is no official way to extract a backup of the data app (for security reasons) if this is what you mean. Check this other post in the community about this ([Backing up a copy of DHIS2 with locally collected data in the cloud](https://community.dhis2.org/t/backing-up-a-copy-of-dhis2-with-locally-collected-data-in-the-cloud/53653)).

Why do you need to extract the app data? Are users getting any error at synchronization?
