  The Terraform state file can be pulled and then exported using a [Task](https://docs.username_1.io/concepts/run/task#performing-a-task).
  
  For example, to export the state to an Amazon S3 bucket, you would run the following command as a Task:
  
  terraform state pull > state.json && aws s3 cp state.json s3://
  
  For that example to work, the stack needs to have write access to the AWS S3 bucket, possibly via an [AWS Integration](https://docs.username_1.io/integrations/cloud-providers/aws).
  
  You could also set up a [hook](https://docs.username_1.io/concepts/stack/stack-settings#customizing-workflow) to constantly run this command at a specific part of your run.
