Qlik Sense System Admin Certification Practice Exam

Backing up a Qlik Sense environment involves ensuring that both the essential data and the application files are preserved to enable recovery or migration as needed. The correct approach is to copy the Qlik Sense Repository Database along with all app files.

The Qlik Sense Repository Database is critical because it contains information about the apps, users, and other configuration settings essential for restoring the environment to its previous state. App files themselves include the actual data models, visualizations, and scripts that users have developed in their analyses. By backing up both the repository database and the app files, you can ensure a complete restoration of the environment, maintaining both the structure and the data.

Other methods mentioned, such as copying only user data or configuration files, do not provide a full backup of the environment. The built-in backup tool, while useful, may not be as comprehensive as performing a manual copy of the repository and apps, depending on your overall backup strategy and frequency of usage. Thus, option B represents the most thorough and effective method for backing up the Qlik Sense environment.
