Hi,

 

for a complete backup plan, you should take care of 3 items:

  1. Databases
    • ReportServer
    • ReportServerTempDB
  2. Encryption key
    • Doable using the Report Server Configuration Manager >  Encryption key
    • Without this, your saved passwords on connection string would be lost in a case of disaster
  3. Configuration files
    • Default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\ReportServer
    • Files:
      • rsreportserver.config
      • rssrvpolicy.config
      • web.config

Well, this is a summary. More info can be found on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/install-windows/backup-and-restore-operations-for-reporting-services
