# Protect Microsoft Power BI Data

Commvault enables you to protect Microsoft Power BI environments by backing up and restoring workspaces, reports, and folder structures. With integrated support for Power Platform, you can safeguard analytics assets and ensure continuity in case of data loss, accidental deletion, or cyber incidents.

## Backups and Restores

Type of Item | Backups You Can Perform | Restores You Can Perform
--- | --- | ---
Reports Folders Workspaces | Forever incremental backups | The current location (in place)
Workspace Capacity | Forever incremental backups | The current location (in place)

## What Is Not Backed Up

- Personal Workspaces (included folders and reports)

- Unpublished reports created in Power BI desktop

- Individual capacities

- Individual datasets

- Non- .pbix files

- Files (.pbix) greater than 50 GB (*)

## What Cannot Be Restored

Files (.pbix) greater than 10 GB. (*)

## Considerations

- Commvault first attempts to back up a report with its semantic model. If that fails, it backs up the report as a live connection report. You can restore a live connection report only if the associated semantic model is available in the source environment.

- (*) Microsoft API limitations apply to Power BI (.pbix) files larger than 10 GB and 50 GB.

- If the service user doesn't have access to a workspace, Commvault automatically adds the user as a workspace administrator to access the data for backup.

## Supported Regions

Region | Description
--- | ---
Default Global Region | The default global version of Power BI available for enterprises, where enterprise, business essentials, and academic Power BI tenants reside.

## Authentication

Modern authentication is used to access data for backups and restores.
