Using DATA EXPORT under set up

Hi, I tried to export a custom object that has about 32000 records, using SET UP > DATA MANAGEMENT > DATA EXPORT > EXPORT NOW. I did that on last thursday around 5 pm(more than 2 working days). It still shows, "A data export is currently in progress for your organization. Your export has been queued. You will receive an email notification when it is completed".

 

How long does it usually take to export using DATA EXPORT?

 

What are the other(better) ways to export the data from SF?

Hi

 

You can Export data of your Custom object using Data Loader.

Go to Data Management->Data Loader.

 

Thanks

I actually know how to use Data Loader. But, I found it simple to select the required object from the list through DATA EXPORT> EXPORT NOW. But have no idea why its taking too long?
