  "description": "FHIR Operation to export data from a FHIR server whether or not it is associated with a patient. This supports use cases like backing up a server, or exporting terminology data by restricting the resources returned using the _type parameter. The FHIR server SHALL support invocation of this operation using the [FHIR Asynchronous Request Pattern](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/async.html)",

If the client explicitly asks for export of resources that the Bulk Data server doesn't support, or asks for only resource types that are outside the Patient Compartment, the server SHOULD return details via a FHIR `OperationOutcome` resource in an error response to the request. When a `Prefer: handling=lenient` header is included in the request, the server MAY process the request instead of returning an error.\n\nFor example `_type=Observation` could be used to filter a given export response to return only FHIR `Observation` resources."
