Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence relies on Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse as the data store and Oracle Analytics Cloud for it’s semantic models and reports.

Oracle Analytics Cloud traditionally provides snapshots as a mechanism to backup artifacts. However, Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence doesn't have the ability to use the Oracle Analytics Cloud snapshots. Use Bundles to backup Oracle Analytics Cloud artifacts and Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence customizations and configurations. For example, you can export an Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence environment bundle periodically (for example, weekly) to a resilient file store like Oracle Storage Service. When something goes wrong with one of your environments, you can import the bundle into another Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence environment and deploy it. See Bundle Your Application Artifacts.

Once you have restored a previous version of the content and completed the next pipeline run, create a service request for Oracle to update the content metadata to ensure the latest definitions of the objects are created. This enables future patching and upgrades to be performed on the restored snapshots.

You can restore from an Autonomous Data Warehouse backup and then reload from your source. If you've multiple sources, then you must reload all the sources, else you might miss a portion of the data. When you restore the content, the system restores it to the point of backup. Any incremental content that you added between the backup and restore actions won't be available. If your instance has been upgraded after you've taken a backup and you restore on the upgraded instance, then the platform is upgraded to the new instance version before the content is restored. To restore your latest content, you must create a service request.
