Supported Data Types for Power Platform | Druva

Power BI Supported Data Types

Power BI protection enables users to backup and restore Power BI workspaces (including Dashboards, Reports, Semantic Models, and Apps). The following table provides an explanation for each component.

For backup and restore support status by entity type, see the Power BI backup and restore support matrix.

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. Workspaces are shared areas where one or many people can access content; designers use them to collaborate, assign permissions, and optionally bundle content into apps for broader distribution. Admin workspaces are special workspaces for governance and security purposes. In the discovery list, they appear specifically named as “Admin Workspace” 📝NOTE: Due to Microsoft API limitations, backing up personal workspaces is not supported. Personal workspaces are personal areas that hold content user own and create, effectively a private sandbox that often stays empty for pure consumers of reports.
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.
