Backing up Subscriptions in Reporting Services 2005

Question

Is there a way to back up the subscriptions i have created on my reporting services server?

I store the reports in a source control and it would be nice to back up the subscription aswell incase something happens to the server and they are lost.

Answer 1

All SSRS data (reports, datasources, folder, security, subscriptions the lot) is stored in the ReportServer database. If you back this up, then you're OK.

Having your solution in source control is good too, but to recreate the SSRS set up is easier with a restore.

Saying that, the scheduling of subscriptions is via normal SQL Server jobs so you'll need msdb backed up too on the metadata SQL Server instance.
