Hi,
I need to migrate an old Power BI Report Server installation, made in 2018, to a new one.
I'm searching any good/complete documentations about this subject in order to plan rightly the related tasks.
F.e. I'd like to understand if it is better to install the new Power BI Report Server on the new machine migrating only the published reports; I'd like to understand how retrieving the published reports (by a simple download operation?); I'd like to know possible issues respect to a such activity and so on.
Many thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,
Here is an official document about migrating from one Power BI Report Server to another.
Migrating from one Power BI Report Server is the same process as migrating from SSRS (Native-mode).
- Backup database, application, and configuration files
- Back up the encryption key
- Clone your report server database hosting your reports
Note
The name of the database must stay the same when restored to the Power BI Report Server.
- Install Power BI Report Server. You can't install Power BI Report Server on the same server as the one you're migrating from. For more information on installing Power BI Report Server, see Install Power BI Report Server.
Note
The instance name for the Power BI Report Server will be PBIRS.
- Configure the report server using Report Server Configuration Manager and connect to the cloned database.
- Perform any cleanup needed for the old Power BI Report Server installation.
