report server backup

pragyamishra — Wed, 28 Feb 2018 01:58:32 GMT

Dear All,

Can anyone help me in understanding what do I need to do to backup my reports and everything else on the report server?

Is it enough to just backup the report server database and report server temp DB or do I need to backup something else?

Also, can someone guide me to the best strategy to achieve backup in Power BI Report Server?

Thanks,

Pragya

Hi,

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

Databases
- ReportServer
- ReportServerTempDB
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
Configuration files
- Default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\ReportServer
- Files:
  - rsreportserver.config
  - rssrvpolicy.config
  - web.config
