Amazon Quick Sight is a core feature within Amazon Quick — an agentic, AI-powered digital workspace designed to maximize end-user productivity— that provides AI-powered BI capabilities through natural language queries, interactive dashboards, and embedded analytics from trusted enterprise data sources.

Amazon Quick Sight assets such as dashboards, analyses, datasets, and data sources can be backed up using the AssetsAsBundle APIs described in this post. A backup strategy helps protect against accidental deletions, unintended modifications, and regional disruptions. For teams that rely on Quick Sight to support critical business decisions, a well-designed backup plan is recommended.

This post is the first in a two-part series covering backup and restore for Amazon Quick Sight BI assets:

Part 1 (this post): Covers how to design and implement a backup strategy, including asset selection, the APIs available for export, and a ready-to-use sample automation tool.

Part 2: Covers the restore process. You can use the backups created in Part 1 to recover assets after accidental deletion, unintended changes, or as part of a broader disaster recovery plan.
