Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is WIP Active Backup?

WIP Active Backup (AB) is a Qlik specific continuous backup app which automatically take incremental snapshots of changes to applications as Qlik developers or self-service users frequently change Qlik applications. AB WIP Active is very easy to access, find the file which requires restoration and restore the file either to its original location, to the developer's WORK stream or any other stream should the administrators allow. Administration users can define retention policies for retention of the incremental versions of all changed applications across all defined servers. The retention policies are very flexible and the longest time of work a developer could possibly loose is 15 minutes. No more sleepless nights because of those infrequent errors.

Why WIP Active Backup?

Information technology departments generally run global server level backup policies to backup total servers, databases, and files for the total day. When a restore is required it's for a total day and will generally mean all users who have worked post the restore point will lose their work and/or they would all need to export their work before IT runs the restore, then import their work to continue their work. This is very difficult process to control, and it always leads to major risk of loss in time, data and development code.

Who can access WIP Active Backup?

RootAdmin, ContentAdmins and/or AppOwnership defined on Qlik Sense QMC can automatically access ABWIP Active. Ebiexperts provides self-service products for businesspeople to maintain their own security and access control as well as restoring work they have lost. We don’t believe this creates any risk within a business as these people would inform developers what to do in any event and that process does slow down the work required, when it can be done by a business owner in seconds or minutes.
