Hi ,

Is there any Best Practices documentation on upgrading Power BI Report Server from one version to another ?

We are upgrading from May 2020 to May 2021 and I was wondering what is the most efficient way to do this ?

Thanks,

M

Hi @adimira ,

Please refer to this document to upgrade Power BI Report Server: Upgrade Power BI Report Server - Power BI | Microsoft Docs.

Before you upgrade a report server, we recommend the following steps to back up your report server.

• Backing up the encryption keys
• Backing up the report server databases
• Backing up the configuration files
