Disclaimer: I no longer work for Qlik and I have no possibility to test or maintain this code any more. Most of my Qlik related repositories are a few years old and was built in an early stage of product releases as examples how to get started with the Qlik API's. Please take it for what it is and use as you like.
This is a very first alpha version of a PowerShell backup/restore module for Qlik Sense.
Please note that it needs testing before using in production environment!
Documentation and examples will be improved on soon!
It is NOT finished!
The module can be installed by copying the Qlik-Snapshot.psm1 file to C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\Qlik-Snapshot, the module will then be loaded and ready to use from the PowerShell console. You can also load the module using the Import-Module command.
Import-Module Qlik-Snapshot.psm1Once the module is loaded you can view a list of available commands by using the Get-Help PowerShell command.
Get-Help Qlik##Usage
The following commands are made available after the module has been loaded.
PS C:\Temp> Get-Help Qlik
Name Category Module Synopsis
---- -------- ------ --------
Restore-QlikState Function Qlik-Snapshot ...
Remove-QlikState Function Qlik-Snapshot ...
Find-QlikState Function Qlik-Snapshot ...
Backup-QlikState Function Qlik-Snapshot ...The idea is that it should both be simple to get started and to use. If a Backup-QlikState command is issued a folder called Snapshots will be created in the current work directory. This folder and all snapshots which will be created below it can be copied or moved, both on the same server but also to another server if desired.
The other commands works in the same manner, Restore-QlikStatewill look for the Snapshots folder in the current directory, and so will Find-QlikState and Remove-QlikState as well.
