Power BI backup for enterprises

Independent backup means your copies are stored outside the Power BI service and can be used to recover after accidental deletion, incorrect changes, or service-side limitations.

It is different from exporting PBIX files or relying on the recycle bin: you get repeatable restore points and evidence of change over time.

Organizations typically protect semantic models (datasets), reports, dashboards, and dataflows. For Fabric, they protect the items and configurations that impact analytics operations and governance.

Your backup policy should match your business impact and retention requirements.

Reduce downtime after incidents.

Recover from incorrect changes without rebuilding from scratch.

Provide audit-ready evidence of protection and change history.
