What does exporting files mean?

Most computer programs have their own way of organizing and encoding data into the files they save. They can recognize their own files but not files from another program. To export a file, the computer has to save data in a format that another program will recognize. The programmers must build this capability into the program itself, so programs are able to export in some file formats and not in others.

In your case, all your WordPress post data is stored in MySQL Database and you need to export the data from the database for keeping it safe for reuse later.
