Power BI Supported Data Types
Power BI protection enables customers to backup Power BI workspaces (including Dashboards, Reports, Semantic Models, and Apps) with download capabilities for disaster recovery and data export. The following table provides an explanation for each component.
Item | Description |
Workspace | A collaborative area where designers store and manage collections of dashboards and reports. Business users are assigned roles to interact with the content.
|
Dashboards | A single-page (canvas) collection of pinned visuals, KPIs, tiles, and links that provides a high-level, read-only overview across one or more reports or semantic models. |
Reports | One or more pages of interactive visuals, text, and graphics based on a single semantic model, often organized to address specific questions or areas of interest. |
Semantic Models | A container of data used by designers to build reports, dashboards, and apps; can combine multiple data sources into a single model. |
Connectors | Connectors in Power BI are built-in or extensible components that let Power BI connect to files, databases, SaaS apps, and APIs so you can import or query data for reports. Connectors are backed up as a part of semantic models. |
Paginated reports (RDL) | Paged reports designed for printing or export |
Data Flows (Gen 1) | A collection of data transformation steps stored in the Power BI service, enabling reusable and centralized data preparation. |
Apps | A collection of dashboards, reports, and semantic models bundled together for sharing with individuals, groups, or organizations. |
