# Export data connections

In Data Catalog, you can export data connection details of all connected data sources in CSV format to create a backup of all data connection settings and use it for migrating connections from one instance to another, ensuring consistency and reducing manual errors.

Perform the following steps to export data connection details in Data Catalog:

1. Click **Management** in the left navigation menu.

   The Manage Your Environment page opens.
2. In the **Resources** card, click **Data Sources**.

   The Manage Data Sources and Data Centers page opens.
3. Click **Export**.

   This downloads the file containing the data connection details in CSV format.

You have successfully exported the data connection details of all connected data sources in CSV format from Data Catalog.

You can also import the data connections into Data Catalog. See [Import data connections](/pdc-admin/ldc-manage-data-sources-cp/pdc-import-data-connections.md) for more information.
