Steps for upgrading Power BI Report Server to latest version

‎04-20-2020 07:43 AM

Hello,

 

I'm using the August 2018 edition of Power BI on premise and want to upgrade to latest.  I've upgraded before by following the steps here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/upgrade.  I already have a backup of the encrytpion key, do I need to back it up again?

You should not, but what the heck, it can't hurt.

What happens if I back it up again?  Can I use the password for the file that was used before?
