Critical work happens in Microsoft Power BI and Azure DevOps, so today Arcserve is pleased to announce new backup and recovery for data generated in Power BI and Azure DevOps. Available immediately, this new release builds on Arcserve SaaS Backup support for other Microsoft platforms, including Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Microsoft Dynamics.

For mid-market and SMB IT teams, losing business-critical data from these platforms can be disastrous.

When Microsoft Power BI dashboards that drive million-dollar decisions become inaccessible overnight, or Azure DevOps repositories containing months of development work stop working, the question isn't whether an organization can recover—it's whether the business will survive the downtime.

The SaaS shared responsibility model places data protection squarely on the customer, creating a critical vulnerability that most organizations discover only after disaster strikes. Arcserve SaaS Backup now provides comprehensive data backup and recovery for both Power BI and Azure DevOps, transforming potential disruption into mere inconvenience.

Data Resilience for Mission-Critical Data From Microsoft Power BI and Azure DevOps

The growing reliance on Microsoft Power BI for business intelligence and Azure DevOps for development workflows creates a critical need for comprehensive data protection. These platforms house valuable organizational assets – from dashboards and reports to development pipelines and project repositories.

Arcserve SaaS Backup addresses data backup needs with a unified interface that simplifies backup and recovery across supported SaaS platforms. This centralized approach eliminates operational complexity while avoiding vendor lock-in constraints. Organizations gain robust protection through a single, powerful SaaS data backup solution.

Beyond Microsoft platforms, Arcserve also protects data from Google Workspace, Salesforce, Zendesk, Confluence Cloud, and Jira Cloud. This creates comprehensive data protection across an organization’s SaaS ecosystem.

What Power BI Data Can Arcserve Backup and Recover?

Microsoft Power BI plays a crucial role in analytics and decision-making for organizations worldwide. For mid-market businesses with lean data teams, Power BI represents a significant investment in time and intellectual property.

Arcserve SaaS Backup provides secure, always-on, automated backups with fast, granular restore capabilities. For Power BI, the solution protects:

  • Underlying data - The foundation of the analytics ecosystem
  • Datasets - Structured data models and relationships
  • Dataflows - The ETL processes that transform and prepare data
  • Reports - The visualizations and dashboards that deliver business insights

While native Microsoft retention policies limit data protection to 30-90 days, Arcserve SaaS Backup supports customizable retention for up to 99 years with no additional costs1.

What Azure DevOps Data Can Be Protected With Backup and Recovery?

Azure DevOps is an essential tool for modern software development and collaboration, streamlining workflows and accelerating software delivery.

Azure DevOps contains critical intellectual property and operational assets requiring protection. Accidental deletion, malicious actions, or service disruptions threaten development operations.

Arcserve SaaS Backup delivers extensive protection for Azure DevOps environments:

Projects & Organization:

  • Projects
  • Teams
  • Members
  • Repositories
  • Deployment Pools

Planning & Tracking:

  • Azure Boards
  • Backlogs
  • Queries
  • Delivery Plans

Build & Release Pipelines:

  • Pipelines
  • Releases
  • Deployment Groups

Reporting & Collaboration:

  • Dashboards
  • Wikis

The standard Microsoft policy for internal disaster recovery backups limits backups to every 28 days. Arcserve SaaS Backup provides the extended protection that development operations require.

Arcserve restores Azure DevOps data quickly, reducing downtime. This capability is critical for organizations with continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, where disruptions affect release schedules.
