Join James Bartlett for a session where he introduces Fabric Archive Bot, a free and open-source tool designed to automate backups of your Power BI and Fabric workspaces. This session will cover the key concepts behind Fabric Archive Bot, including REST APIs, JSON, and Service Principal Authentication. James will also demonstrate how to set up Fabric Archive Bot, run it manually, and schedule automatic backups using Windows Task Scheduler. By the end of this session, you'll have the knowledge to ensure that your Fabric items are securely backed up with minimal effort.

People who attend this session will:
- Understand the basics of how Fabric Archive Bot works, utilizing the Fabric REST APIs to enumerate and backup items from Fabric workspaces.
- See how using Service Principal Authentication (instead of User Principal Authentication) allows for 100% unattended automation of processes that would otherwise require a user to login.
- Learn how to set up and configure Fabric Archive Bot using the Azure Portal, PowerShell, and Windows Task Scheduler.

Prerequisites:
- Intermediate knowledge of the Fabric cloud service.
- Tenant administrator access to Fabric.
- Familiarity with Entra ID App Registrations (Service Principals) and Security Groups in the Azure Portal.
- A Windows machine with PowerShell version 7+ and Windows Task Scheduler.
