https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Developer/PBIX-Export-with-Power-BI-API/m-p/4157332#M55354 <P>Hello!<BR /><BR />I have found that the one thing that I would really want out of Fabric and Power BI is the option to daily export PBIX files as back up. This is something I haven't noticed in the service as an option. This seems very important in the governance area, if someone were to delete the report in the workspace, I'd like to have a copy of the PBIX file available to publish to recover it.<BR /><BR />I have been recently dabbling in the Power BI API to get usage metrics. But it also has the export option to use the API for. I am using a service principal to use this API. I have gotten a Power Automation together that gets the workspace IDs and Report IDs and then the goal is the automation uses the Service Principal to export these PBIX files into a Sharepoint folder. Everything works up to the export.<BR /><BR />The service principal seems to have all the permissions needed but when I run it, it fails. I was doing some research and saw that this option is only with delegated permissions. Has anyone worked on something like this? Had an automation that would download a copy of the report for backup? Did you use Power Automate. I just want to see if I'm doing something wrong, or if there are limitations.<BR /><BR /><BR /></P> Wed, 18 Sep 2024 15:29:54 GMT Alanator500 2024-09-18T15:29:54Z https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Developer/PBIX-Export-with-Power-BI-API/m-p/4157332#M55354 <P>Hello!<BR /><BR />I have found that the one thing that I would really want out of Fabric and Power BI is the option to daily export PBIX files as back up.
