Hello all,
I know that there are several similiar topics, but too specific with no big picture included 🙂 I wanted to summarize here and verify with you all possible backup options of Qlik Cloud platform. As far as I know there is no native backup from Qlik side and once someone will remove space/app/qaa/datafile/dc by accident, there is no way how to restore it using Qlik support (there is probably some, but not official and if so I suppose it will be extra paid service).
I have several options on my mind and I would like to hear your opinion or experience so far:
But what I miss in all mentioned solution is to be able to save also configuration of following items (not only apps):
As there is API utilization possibility within QAA/Qlik CLI there is a chance to cover this portfolio at least partially, but not all mentioned areas can be covered as endpoints are limited and does not contain the content itself, just some metadata of items.
Any idea how to make backups with as much items as possible with reasonable solution?
Regards

To address QAA, you can manually export automations to a JSON file: Go to the automation editor, right-click in the blank canvas, and click "Download workspace".
To offer an opinion, and in the spirit of making data available to everyone, each app developer would be wise to download their own app .qvf files to a local personal backup if they have invested significant time on them, and if this is appropriate. This could save admin work, or be very helpful if an app is accidentally deleted. However, keep in mind that part of the concept of Cloud SaaS is that tenant backup and disaster recovery is managed by Qlik and the system.
There are some partners who offer solutions. In my Dork Cast 30 I do a deep dive with the team from Stretch Connect to talk about their Qloud Cover solution which indeed does backup spaces, data files, automations, connections, extensions etc. They've got you covered. https://youtu.be/4E-JUDuMRCA
