<h4>The Dilemma</h4>
Your Tableau Server instance has a backup policy in place (please say yes) but you also want to ensure your most valuable Tableau Server workbooks are always somewhere safe and secure. What’s more, you’ll have <b>version control</b>!
<h4>The Catch</h4>
It should all be automatic. No living soul should ever touch this process (except when it needs some upgrades and further improvements). And in keeping with the spirit of ‘utility’, it should be small, fast, and functional.
<h4>The High-Level Steps</h4>
You’ll need a PostgreSQL script to grab workbook names for export with <a href="http://onlinehelp.tableausoftware.com/current/server/en-us/tabcmd_cmd.htm">tabcmd get</a><b><i>. </i></b>You’ll use this query inside your PowerShell script (file: <a href="https://github.com/MikeRobertsPS/TsHacks">TsGetWorkbookDownloadURL</a>) which leverages the outputted csv for workbook names.

w.id as "WorkbookId"
