title: Can you export history from Visual Studio Online to another ALM system?
body: <p>I’m beginning to consider moving an on-prem TFS 2012 installation to Visual Studio Online.  So, one of the first things I started investigating was how we might export our content back out of VSO in the future if we ever decided we needed to.  The more I’m looking, the less I’m finding. It seems there was a temporary time period when VSO first went GA that Microsoft offered that capability if you asked to have it done (<a href="http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/2014-apr-3-vso.aspx" rel="noreferrer">http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/2014-apr-3-vso.aspx</a>).  By implication, that would seem to mean that this isn’t something that is a planned feature of VSO.</p>
  
  <p>Making a commitment to house all of my source and ALM data in a repository I’d effectively be barred from leaving doesn’t sound particularly appealing.  <strong>Am I missing something, or does Microsoft really not have export capabilities on their VSO product roadmap?</strong>  It would seem that this would be a show-stopper for many organizations from coming onto VSO, which is a perfect application to put into the cloud IMHO.</p>
