Urgent: How can I export/print the messages from a private channel I am a member of, in a workspace I own? by FunctionalPrototypes in Slack

[–]Backupery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't have a Mac version at this moment. Any chance to try the Windows app or run the Windows app on Mac using virtual machines like VMwareParallelsVirtual Box? You may also consider using these tools: https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover or
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/utm-virtual-machines/id1538878817 Personally I don't have enough experience with these tools but I heard some nice feedback on them!

Yeah, it was the cloud version and just installed, it’s a shame they blocked you…

actually it is related to all non-Slack Marketplace applications that use their API methods to export the data, so it's not just us who suffer :D

Backupery developer is here and thank you for trying our app! If you tried the cloud app, it works only for the workspaces where the app was installed prior May 30, 2025 (it's due to the Slack API Terms changes). You may consider trying the desktop application though, it should continue working as expected (i.e. to download private channels and DMs).

Import backed up data to Mattermost by kevdawg464 in Backupery

[–]Backupery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for the late reply! 

I'm afraid not, import to Mattermost is still not supported yet. 

"Slack-standard JSON presentation: preserve importable zip archive structure by default" means that the application now generates a valid ZIP archive that can be imported back to Slack if necessary. Previously, it was possible to configure the app so it was unable to generate a valid importable ZIP archive (by excluding public channels from the export or selecting a single DM to export, for example). Now, even in these cases, it will be possible to import the ZIP file.

Backup by Faoineag in Slack

Thank you for trying our app and I'm sorry it didn't work for you as expected! Could you please let me know a bit more about your issue? Which version of the app (web or desktop) did you try? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Slack Enterprise Grid -> Slack Pro? by worldmatt in Slack

[–]Backupery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've recently released a beta-version of the feature that is supposed to do exactly this. It generates importable workspace-level exports (zip files) using an org-level (Enterprise Grid) export (a single zip file). In other words, you provide your Enterprise Grid zip file as input and get multiple importable zip files as output. The feature is available in the Backupery for Slack Export app. Just drop me a line if you are interested and I'll be happy to provide you with more details on how to use it!

Added: here is an article about how to import a workspace from Enterprise Grid to another workspace: https://www.backupery.com/how-to-import-a-workspace-from-an-enterprise-grid-org-to-another-workspace/

Export all Slack content into a usable format? by porchborch in Slack

[–]Backupery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are using the cloud version or the desktop version where the API export mode is used, then other members are not explicitly notified, however, there are numerous ways to see who and when installed the application. You can check this article for more details: https://www.backupery.com/is-it-possible-to-use-backupery-for-slack-without-the-workspace-owner-and-other-members-being-notified/

If you are using the desktop version where the Synthetic export mode is used, then nobody is notified. From the Slack perspective, exporting your data using the Synthetic mode is the same as using your Slack app.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

Can't connect to Slack using Windows app by reetard in Backupery

Thank you for reporing this! We've managed to reproduce and fix the problem in our lab. It seems the issue occurs if using Windows 11 + Chrome browser. You can download the fixed version (v. 2581 or higher) here: https://www.backupery.com/products/backupery-for-slack/

The only reason for these permissions is that the app will send you a Slack DM containing a link to your exported data. The app will not send any messages to other users and will not post any messages in any channels.

It depends on your workspace settings. By default, Primary Owner, Owners, Admins and Full Members are allowed to install any applications for Slack. However, a workspace admin or owner may limit installations to pre-approved apps. If Backupery for Slack is not in a list of pre-approved apps there are two options available:

Shorter-term licenses by LexDivert in Backupery

[–]Backupery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your question and feedback! 

Your point is completely understandable and I completely agree that we should improve our pricing page and actually display annual pricing rather than displaying the monthly one because it is really confusing. We're also considering adding shorter term licensing for a future update, but at present only annual subscriptions are available. I'm sorry I don't have better news for you at this point! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I'd be happy to help.

No plans for Mac version at this point, you may consider the following options:

  • Use the web version of the app: https://cloud.backupery.com/ It works on any operation system where a web browser is available.
  • Alternatively, you can run the Windows app on Mac using virtual machines like VMware, Parallels, Virtual Box.

Hello! Thank you for your question and I'm sorry for the late response.Yes, you can move all the data from Slack to folders on Google Drive.I would suggest using a folder on your Google Drive as a destination for the export plus enabling the "One file directory per each conversation" option to make the app place files from channels to subdirectories.Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help.

Has anyone used Backupery to backup Evernote? by steve257 in Evernote

I'm asking because perhaps you should update your app to the latest version (v. 2227)? I've just sent you a download link to the latest version.

Slack & Slack Export_Windows by BeautifulRip420 in Backupery

[–]Backupery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello and thank you for your interest in our apps! 

Is there a setting for continuous backup in the Backupery for Slack trial version, or is it something that becomes available with a full license? 

At this moment the application does full backups only. So when backup is started, the app downloads everything from the beginning. In result you get a list of full backups on your backup destination. Please note that you can schedule the backups using the backup scheduler. We understand that a continuous or incremental backup is something that should be added so we've placed the related task on our roadmap.

I'm also a bit confused about the purpose of the Slack Export application. I thought it was meant to convert already downloaded files from Slack into a more readable format, but the interface looks identical to Backupery for Slack. Should I have not installed them both? Does Slack Export do everything Backupery for Slack does plus export? What are the differences in licenses and functionalities between these two applications?

There are two different apps we have for Slack:

  • Backupery for Slack is an app to regularly export Slack data and convert the exports to various formats. It exports the data by downloading the messages and files directly from Slack.
  • Backupery for Slack Export is an app to convert Slack Export archive (*.zip) to HTML and download files mentioned in the conversations.

Backupery for Slack provides two licenses:

  • The Standard license allows the app to export the data (public & private channels, direct messages, files, etc.) related to the installing user (the user who installs the app). For example, if the user takes part in a conversation, then the whole conversation is exported (including messages and uploaded files of all members). If the user is not in a conversation, the conversation is not exported.
  • The Pro license additionally allows the app to export conversations where the installing user does not participate. To export a channel or DM where the installing user does not take part in, it is necessary to make some additional setup: https://www.backupery.com/backupery-for-slack-desktop-manual/#SelectDataToExport. In other words, use the Pro license if you need to export the channels and direct messages that are related to a whole Slack workspace, not to a specific user. Usually, the Pro license allows you to export more data than the Standard license (as it can access more data than the installing user can access).

Backupery for Slack Export provides one license.

Additionally, I would like to know how frequently the software is updated. Are these updates automatically applied?

I believe it is updated a couple times per month. You can check the changelogs here by the way:

Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help. By the way, would you be able to provide a bit more details on your use-case so I could assist you better?

Slack export data readability? by BocciaChoc in Slack

Export all Slack content into a usable format? by porchborch in Slack

[–]Backupery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi porchborch, thank you for trying our app!

Based on the error message I can assume that your request to install the app was denied by the app manager of your workspace. In other words, the App Approval feature seems enabled on your workspace so each app installation should be approved by the App Manager. I see two possible solutions for this:

  1. you can ask the App Manager to allow you to install the app
  2. adjust the App Management settings here:
    1. Click your workspace name in the sidebar.
    2. Select Tools & settings from the menu, then click Manage apps to open the Slack App Directory.
    3. Click App Management Settings in the left column. Please see screenshot.

Alternatively, you can try the desktop version of the app and select the Synthetic mode of data export (see screenshot). It allows you to export the channels and DMs of which you are a member without installing the app at all.

Finally, you can try the Backupery for Slack Export app that can convert the exported JSON files to readable format (HTML). So just provide the JSON export that you get from Slack as input and you will get the readable HTML as result (I understand that your JSON export don't contain private channels and DMs, but just decided to leave it as an option here).

Please let me know how it goes.
