The version control will scan all the workbooks and only backup the ones that have been modified since the previous backup (meaning it doesn’t waste time backing up something that hasn’t been changed since the last backup).
We make this possible by running a version control on all the workbooks on the production server. Luckily for you Tableau admins, we have a solution that would make your life easy and make others happy by getting that precious workbook in a fraction of the time than it normally takes to retrieve. It also deletes all previous versions along with its newest version if accidentally deleted. Tableau currently do have their own version of version control, however it is not the most optimal option. This gruesome process is required surprisingly often since people accidentally delete workbooks or older version is needed for various reasons. Depending on the size of your backup, this process takes a total of staggering 12–15 hours to complete. That translates to having to restore the entire backup into a test server then retrieve the workbooks that are needed.
What that means is that there is no way we can individually backup workbooks but in bulk that can only be then restored as a bulk. Let me explain:Ĭurrently, Tableau uses the all-or-nothing backup system when it comes to backing up your workbooks. Pretty rough huh? That is what Tableau admins currently have to go through in order to restore workbooks from a backup, but there is little more hassle to that too. Imagine having to move the entire box that will take you five hours to move from your storage into your room just to get two items. Currently, retrieving just one workbook or select few items from a Tableau backup is time costly and counter-productive work. If you are a Tableau server admin or interact with your Tableau admin, then the chances of you desperately crying out for their help over some accidental action is a quiet common possibility.
