Systems and methods for exporting logical object metadata. In one example, the system includes an electronic processor configured to receive a first input from a user. The first input includes a logical object location and at least one metadata export option. The electronic processor is also configured to create an export job based upon the first input. The electronic processor is also configured to store the export job in a job queue, determine when a computing resource is available to execute the export job, and execute the export job when the computing resource is available. The electronic processor is also configured to store a job manifest in a memory location. In one example, the job manifest includes metadata for each logical object located in the logical object location.
