Asynchronous refresh

[Anonymous]

Hi all , I am new to PowerBI, I would like to confirm which situation I should consider use the premium features Asynchronous refresh and Backup and restore.

Please kindly provide me some examples and when/ why need to use them. Thanks a lot!

Asynchronous refresh:  You have large datasets (there's a 10 GB partition limit) and/or you don't need to refresh all partitions all the time.

Backup and Restore: You are concerned abot losing datasets and/or are unable to recreate them from scratch (which is always a red flag).   So you make your own backups of stuff that Microsoft is already backing up in the Azure cloud.
