Exporting to Excel, PDF and CSV using server side

databody

I have browsed different threads and if I understood correctly, if I am using server side processing then I have to handle export options myself in server side code?

That datatables will only return data to my server and then I can use any component or plugin in my development language to export. For e.g. in case of .Net I can use EPPlus.

Is my understanding correct?

If you want the full data set in the exported file, yes. With server-side processing enabled, the client-side only has the data for the currently drawn page. Therefore, since the export is client-side, it can only export the data it has.
