SAP Analytics Cloud Complete System Backup/Restore?

[#1]

Are backups taken of the SAP analytics cloud system by SAP? Is it possible to revert our complete SAP analytics system to a previous days backup?

My problem is that we have various models that use a BW import connection. The BW connection was deleted and re-created but doing this has meant all the models lost their import jobs and schedules. I have restored the original BW connection from a backup with a data model and wrangler but no import job had been restored. Is there a way to restore my import jobs?

Thanks in advance, hoping I don't have to build them all again from scratch.

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately I ended up rebuilding the more complex models and stories and import jobs, not an easy task when there are issues with the modeller not correctly recognising data types of the BW query fields. I’m still waiting for a call back from SAP regarding a possible restore even though it was raised as a priority 1. If SAP are serious about SAC being an enterprise solution then they need to offer a robust and reliable backup & restore process. I did have backups of the models but again this is not a reliable system as the backups can only be restored in the same SAC version they were backed up from. So once the version has changed then all your backups are useless.

Hi Clive,

I strongly agree.

Furthermore limitations of only being able to backup the Public Folder, Dimensions and Connection is really another weak point in lifecyle management on single tenant SAC systems.

Also according to this SAP note, it's clear that not all objects can be restored 😞
