Are Data Visualization files important?

I'm trying to back up a file, but I can't because I don't have permission only for the Data Visualization file.

I can't open the Data Visualization file, so I'm not sure.

Is this an important file?

Hi @qwebnm,

Since this Data Visualizaton.zip file is located in C:\Program Data\QlikTech\Documents (the default location of the QVS Root folder defined in QMC > System > Setup > QlikView Servers > @QVS > Folders > Root Folder), I think it is just the sample app Data Visualization.QVW that is installed with QlikView Server just zipped up. I assume that you're not aware of how this particular file got into this folder?  My guess is that someone zipped up the Data Visualization.QVW file for some unknown reason.
So what is it you are trying to backup?

Hi @qwebnm,

Yeah as I stated, I believe that this zip folder is the sample app Data Visualization and wouldn't be an important file needed for QlikView Server to operate.  However, that is something for you to investigate.

Is this a sample app?

It's an unimportant file, right?

The entire qliktech folder of program data was backed up, but only that file did not have permission, so the backup was not possible.
