Exporting Files: Understanding File Paths and Naming Conventions

When you export data using SaaSAssure, the exported files are organized into specific folders to help you manage and identify them easily.

Folder Structure:

  • CSV files generated during the export process are stored in the "SystemGeneratedFiles" folder.
  • Original files or attachments from your Connector/SaaS Application are stored in the "SourceFiles" folder.

Folder Paths:

  • The new paths for these folders will follow this format: "AccountId/BackupsetId/Export/GenerationId/SystemGeneratedFiles" for SystemGeneratedFiles and "AccountId/BackupsetId/Export/GenerationId/SourceFiles" for SourceFiles.

Filename Differentiation:

  • If you have multiple files with the same name but different content in your source application, you'll notice that they have unique filenames in AWS. For instance, if you have more than one file named "RandomFile.txt" in your source, they will be displayed as "RandomFile_17920472875.txt" and "RandomFile_1782345869.txt" in AWS. This naming convention helps you distinguish between files with similar names but different content.
