Data Export Wizard

Data Export is a tool in salesforce which can help in exporting data in bulk to use in third party application or reporting.

Salesforce allow us to export the data, either manually or on an automatic schedule through Data Export functionality. The data is exported as comma-separated values which can be read be most of the text editors or programs. Thus, making it acceptable to wide range of applications. This is one way of saving the data offline as a backup or to import in other systems.

Like Data Import, Data Export in salesforce also have two options

Data Export is an in-browser wizard, which means that it is accessible through the Setup menu in salesforce. You can either export the data manually in 6 days for weekly and 28 days for monthly reports. or export data automatically, at weekly or monthly intervals.
Data Loader on the other hand is client-side application which can be downloaded from setup menu in salesforce and should be installed on client machine. More on this is in Data Import Wizard Video. Link is in the description.
