How do I back up a +1GB Dataset? I'm already back up -1GB Datasets with Powershell scripts, but .pbix files larger than 1GB, are copied corrupt
Hi @Anonymous ,
I am not sure what exactly you are trying. This thread explain how to do backups (which you might exactly be doing):Backup and restore Power BI Premium datasets - Power BI | Microsoft Learn BUT, there is a section with the considerations and limitations which mentions that you must access ADLS Gen 2 directly, are you allowing that? There are other limits as well to confirm that you are doing well.
There is also an article by @GilbertQ here that might be helpful: Steps on how I backed up my Power BI Premium Per User / Premium Database - FourMoo | Power BI | Data Analytics
