Power Bi Configuration
power bi Desktop is an application that is loaded locally in your environment. It is used to create workbooks that are published to powerbi.com. You always have a master copy of the workbook so there is no issue. Any changes you make on powerbi.com including changes to reports and all dashboards cannot be backed up by you. MS recently allowed you to download pbix files from the service but as of now this doesn't include changes you made in the cloud. Read my article here.
