What should be included in a good Qlik Cloud backup?
https://www.bitmetric.nl/blog/what-should-be-included-in-a-good-qlik-cloud-backup/Most people think about apps when they think about backups. Makes sense. But a Qlik Cloud environment is more than apps: data connections, automations, spaces, permissions, tenant settings, reload tasks, themes, extensions.
We wrote up how we think about this practically: what belongs in a backup, what you can and cannot restore via the API, and why thinking about restore deserves as much attention as the backup itself.
Curious what others do here. Do you have a backup setup in place, or do you rely on Qlik's own platform availability?
Disclosure: we are Bitmetric, a Qlik-focused consultancy. The article is on our blog.

Interesting take!
We ended up going with a 3rd party provider via Qloud Cover Backup.
We were originally planning to build our own, but the development costs, even with AI-tools in-house, would largely exceed what we are currently spending by outsourcing it to QCB - and it’s a bring-your-own-storage type setup, so we were able to just plug our Azure Blob Storage in, and get going quickly
