How can you export TMs in Studio 2014?

Question

I use SDL Trados Studio 2014 Freelance SP2. 
 I want to export the TUs in my TMs for backup purposes, but when I go into the translation memories view and open the relevant TM, the Export button on the toolbar is shaded in grey as unavailable and I can't find anywhere else where the export function my be accessible. How can I export this data?

Hi Jan, 
 In the Translation Memories View, you've got the TMs you've already opened. 
 
 When you select a TM under Translation Memories folder, the Export button is visible on the top: 
 
 Alternatively you can right-click on the TM you wish to export, and select the Export menu: 
 
 You need to select a TM in order to see the Export button (or the Export menu). If there are no TMs in the Translation Memories View, select Open (button or pop-up menu) in Studio or just double click on the TM on your Windows Explorer . 
 As I mentioned in my previous post, I don't know why your Open button is greyed out. 
 About the backup software, I used Cobian long time ago, it was nice, good and free, but I don't use it anymore, so I can't really recommend it now. Sorry for that. Maybe a colleague can help here&hellip; 
 A BATCH file is nothing complex, and I could give you a template if you wish, but I think you'd better try first some solutions with a nicer user interface, like Cobian or the tool that you want to try. Let me know if you wanna try the BATCH thing. I'm not a programmer either, but I found this way the best for me. 
 I hope this helps.

We also have a wide and interesting selection of Apps on our dedicated website, here:

And some of them can help you a lot if you have more TMs that you need to work on at once. This is an example of an app that you just need to drag and drop your .SDLTM files on and click one button to have the .TMX exports:

I sometimes just browse through the apps to see what's out there, there are some things that I didn't even think about that can be very useful. 
 
Thanks,
