Does any one know how to roll back power bi report server version like rollback power bi report server Jan 2019 back to power bi report server Aug 2018? Thanks!
Hi, in my experience I don't think this is possible without a backup of your server or database. Before each upgrade, I take a snapshot and backup. In the past, i've had to resort to using this method.
Maybe someone else has an alternative answer, but I'm not aware of downgrading being an option.
If you back up the database you'll also have to back up the Encryption Keys via Report Server Configuration Manager otherwise you won't be able to restore the database.
Thanks all for reply, agree backup DB and key.
