Default Environment Unable to Backup. Alternatives?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by matrix187 4

I am trying to backup my Default environment in which I created an app and a Dataverse table with various PowerAutomate flow connections. However, being new to Power Apps, I did not realize that one cannot backup the Default environment (I honestly do not understand why this is the case whatsoever). Is there any way to transfer the information to another environment that CAN be regularly backed up?  Thanks.

    Hi @matrix187,

     

    You would use a solution to transport your components to a new environment.

     

    Make sure to export the solution is unmanaged so that you can modify the components in your dedicated development environment. When you're ready to deploy to downstream environments such as test and production, you should export the solution as managed.
