Trello backup & board copies
Keep a copy before you need one.
Your Trello board changes every day. Keep important board data outside Trello with a manual or automatic backup, so an earlier copy is already there when you need it.
Open in Trello
Schedule recurring copies by email or create one immediately.
Before you need it
The wrong time to think about a copy is after something changes.
A card was removed. A list was reorganized. A field changed. Someone needs information from last month's board—or the board is no longer available. When somebody asks, “Do we still have the old data?”, the useful copy is the one that already exists.
What is Board Export Lite?
Board Export Lite is a Trello Power-Up for creating manual and scheduled copies of Trello board data. It exports JSON, CSV, and XLSX files, and scheduled copies can be delivered by email.
Keep an independent copy
Make sure the answer is yes.
Board Export Lite lets you create a captured copy now or schedule copies to arrive automatically. When the information is needed later, nobody has to recreate a file that was never saved.
Schedule recurring copies
Choose email delivery so nobody has to remember to create the next copy manually.
Keep it outside the live board
Retain the downloaded or emailed file for later reference after the Trello board changes.
How the copy is created
Create it now or let the schedule remember.
JSON
A structured board export for technical storage, processing, and detailed snapshots.
CSV
A portable flat-table format for filtering, migration preparation, and simple analysis.
XLSX
A spreadsheet-ready workbook for reporting, review, sorting, and offline analysis.
Manual copy
Create an immediate copy from the Trello board whenever the current state should be retained.
Scheduled copies
Receive recurring board copies by email for $5 per month or $50 per year.
Verification
Open a sample export and confirm the fields important to your workflow before treating it as a backup process.
An exported JSON, CSV, or XLSX file is portable board data—not a way to recreate the live Trello board. Attachments and comments are not included in the verified export model, so confirm that the captured fields meet your workflow before relying on a copy.
Captured Trello data
Know what exists in the copy you keep.
Board, lists, and cards
Copies include board details, lists, cards, descriptions, positions, due dates, and archived data when that option is selected.
Members, labels, and checklists
Captured data includes board members, labels, card assignments, checklists, and checklist items.
Custom fields
Custom field definitions and card values are included in the structured export model.
Format-specific coverage
JSON preserves the structured export model; CSV and XLSX provide one row per card with flattened checklist and custom-field values.
