 * Hello Shaar7,
 *  Thank you for using Prime Mover! Regarding your question – please refer to this
   [FAQ: What is the difference between “Export as subsite backup” and “Export to multisite format?](https://codexonics.com/prime_mover/prime-mover/faq-what-is-the-difference-between-export-as-subsite-backup-and-export-to-multisite-format/).
 *  The FAQ tutorial explains the detailed differences and usage scenarios. Basically_“
   Export as subsite backup”_ is used when creating a multisite backup of the current
   subsite. This way – you no longer be needed to enter the blog ID every time you
   create a backup – saves time.
 *  _“Export to multisite format”_ is usually used when you create a migration package
   targeting to different subsite blog ID.
 *  Since you are new user to Prime Mover – please check out our [complete plugin documentation](https://codexonics.com/prime_mover/prime-mover/).
   Thanks!
 * Cheers.
