Currently when you create a report in Power BI Service, there is no option to download/backup a report.

Companies that use solely Power BI Service (no PBI Desktop) do not have any way of backing up the complex reports that they make.

RE: Offline backup of Power BI Service reports

Or...I do use Power BI Desktop, to create and publish a dataset to an app workspace. Then, several other users create/publish reports, in the Power BI Service, based on my dataset.

What if one user accidentally deletes or modifies another user's report? It would be great if we could back up reports created in the Service. (Or otherwise "protect" them, like with versioning.)
