Use this interactive demo to learn how to export and back up your Asana project data as a CSV file.

Quick summary

Backing up an Asana project is done by exporting it as a CSV file through the Project Actions Menu. This gives you a portable, offline copy of all your project data that can be saved to any location.

Steps

Open the project you want to back up in Asana.
Click on the Project Actions Menu — the dropdown arrow located in the top right corner of the project view.
Hover over Export/Print and click on it to open the export options.
Select CSV from the dropdown menu.
A CSV file containing your project data will be downloaded — save it to your preferred location.

📌 Why this matters

Backing up your Asana projects as CSV files protects your team's work against accidental deletion, data loss, or migration needs. Exporting project data to CSV gives you a portable, universally compatible record of all tasks, assignees, and deadlines outside of Asana. This is essential for compliance, auditing, or transitioning data to another project management tool. Regular Asana backups ensure business continuity and give project managers full control over their critical workflow data.
