# Extract to Disk - Overview The **"Extract to Disk"** option enables you to export your Notes content to a folder on your disk. This type of archive includes: * **PDF files**, which store the content of the Notes forms * **XML files**, which store the Notes metadata * **Document attachments** When creating your archive, you can choose to [**name the PDF files using configurable rules**](/seascape-for-notes/faq/how-to-configure-pdf-file-naming-rules.md) and [**generate a custom folder structure**](/seascape-for-notes/seascape-settings/folder-formulas.md) for storing the files. The disk archive also **retains links between PDF documents**, preserving the same relationships that existed in Lotus Notes via doclinks. For additional convenience, a CSV Creator tool is provided which enables you to merge the XML metadata into a single or multple CSV files (one CSV per Notes form).
