Power BI backup data coverage
The Power BI connector protects reports and Gen1 dataflows in Power BI workspaces.
Backup structure
Keepit organizes your Power BI data as follows:
Workspace
- Dataflows
- Reports
Limitations
Reports
We back up only reports that you can download as a .pbix file. This includes:
- Reports created in Power BI Desktop and published to the Power BI service
- Reports where you uploaded the .pbix file to the Power BI service
We don’t back up reports created in the Power BI service. For a full list of limitations, see Download a report from the Power BI service to Power BI Desktop in the Microsoft documentation.
Other items
We don’t back up:
- Personal workspaces (My workspaces)
- Taskflows
- Gen2 dataflows
- Datasets as separate items
We also don’t back up capacities or sensitivity label configurations, but we do back up the following:
- Which capacities are assigned to a workspace
- Where sensitivity labels are applied
Reports include copies of their datasets, and we back up those copies. Because a single dataset can be part of many workspaces, your backup may contain duplicate datasets.
