Export Power Apps Data

You can export the backup data of the standard Canvas apps and component libraries to a local location.

Before you begin

The exported component library can be imported to Power Apps via the same entry as Importing a canvas app package. You must publish the imported component library to make it work. The component library will use a new ID after being imported, so the app which is connected with this component library before cannot be reconnected automatically. If you import an app that connects to a component library before, and the component library still exists in Microsoft 365, the app and the component library can be reconnected automatically.

1. Navigate to the Restore > IBM® Storage Protect for Cloud Backuppage, and then click the Power Apps tile.
2. Select the items that you want to export. You can choose one of the following methods to find the data to export.
   • Search mode – Search for the standard Canvas apps and component libraries using the Tenant filter and the Backup time range filter, as well as the keywords in the properties of standard Canvas apps and component libraries. Refer to the steps below:
     1. In the Name field, enter the keyword in the name of the standard Canvas app or component library that you want to search for. The default search condition is to search the backup data within the last backup cycle.
     2. In the Backup time range field, the time range of the last backup cycle is displayed by default. Click the Calendar () button to customize the backup time range. The start date must be earlier than the end date. You can click Reset if you want to reset the settings. Click OK to save your customization.
     3. Select All, Canvas or Component library from the Type List for the items you want to search. The default type is all.
     4. You can also use the Created date, Owner/Co-owner, User, and Environment as the search conditions.
     5. Click Search to search the standard Canvas apps and component libraries according to the conditions you configured. The search results table will display a maximum of 2000 items. You can edit the search conditions and click Searchto adjust the search results.
   • Calendar mode – Find a backup job that backed up the items at the time of the status you want to recover, and then search and select the items from the backup data of that backup job.
     1. In the calendar, all backup jobs of Power Apps are displayed. You can select whether to display the finished with an exception or failed jobs in the calendar by selecting the Include jobs with only partial backup dataoption. Note that the data of these jobs may be incomplete. Hover over a backup job to show the backup job details.
     2. Select a backup job. All backup data, up to a maximum of 2000 items, are displayed in the table. You can select the Show data from this backup onlyoption (historical data from previous backups will be excluded) to only show the data backed up in the selected backup job.
     3. You can enter keywords to search for the standard Canvas apps and component libraries across tenants or in a specific tenant.
     4. You can select Canvas or Component library from the Filters list to only show the type you want. The default type is all.
3. Select the items you want to export, and then click Export.
4. An export job for Power Apps will start, and you can navigate to Job monitor to view the job status and download the exported data.
