Finally had some time and it's looking closer, but the updated version doesn't handle linked reports.

 

I would like to have those, but it would be ok if those are skipped.

    Yes, I just skipped the linked reports. There is no actual file format for those they, are just a record in the database. You could possibly look at building your own file by writing the data out as xml or json, but I'm not aware of anyone having done this already.

      Sorry I meant to say, when I get to a a folder with a linked report the script fails.

       

      Just in case here's what I'm using:

      #Out-RsRestFolderContent -RsFolder / -ReportPortalUri 'https://reports.site.com/Reports' -Destination C:\_TestingPBIRS -Recurse

       

      Here's the error message:

      Unsupported item type! We only support items which are of type Report, DataSet, DataSource, Mobile Report or Power BI Report

       

      Thanks,

      Sam

        I've found a way to skip linked reports, it's ugly though and I doubt they would want what I did on the github, but that brought up a new issue. 

         

        Do you by chance know of a Recurse way to upload. Looks like I have to go to each folder individually.
