A complete BACPAC backup of your entire database, generated daily, retained for 60 days. Download via API or application. Connect Power BI directly. Included at no extra cost.
A BACPAC is an Azure SQL Database export format that packages your entire database — every table, every relationship, every stored procedure, and every row of data — into a single portable file.
It's not a proprietary format locked to P4 Books. It's a standard Microsoft SQL Server format that can be restored into any SQL Server instance — local server, Azure cloud, or any other SQL Server environment.
P4 Books generates a fresh BACPAC of your production database every day. Each backup is retained for 60 days, giving you a rolling window of daily snapshots.
New BACPAC generated every day with your complete current database
Access any backup from the past 60 days to track changes or recover data
Not a premium feature or add-on — every customer gets daily backups
Choose the method that fits your workflow — automated API access or manual download from the application.
P4 Books exposes an API endpoint that lets you programmatically download the latest BACPAC file. Set up a scheduled job that runs nightly to automatically download and restore to your own SQL Server.
Download your BACPAC directly from within P4 Books. Log in, select any date within the 60-day window, download the file, and restore it wherever you need.
The daily BACPAC becomes more than a backup — it becomes a data pipeline. Download nightly, restore to your analytics SQL Server, and connect Power BI directly to your complete dataset.
Your production environment stays untouched. Your analytics team works against their own copy. Performance is never impacted.
Traditional ERP vendors either provide limited built-in reporting or offer restricted APIs that extract data field by field — slowly, with rate limits, never giving you the complete picture.
Download it any time. Restore it to your own infrastructure. Analyze it with any tool. Keep your own copies. And if you ever decide to leave P4 Books, your data walks out the door with you — in a standard, portable format.
No proprietary format. No restricted export. No charge for accessing your own information.
If your current ERP makes you fight for access to your own data — or charges you for the privilege — there's a better way.
