# BI Terminology

WIP
The terminology used in this guide is listed in the following table:

| **Term** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **ElastiCube** | ElastiCube is a data store, designed to withstand extensive querying. The ElastiCube data is cached on the BI server and serves as the data layer for the dashboard.<br/>The default ElastiCube database, named CS\_BI\_Cube, holds the information collected from CloudShell and can be extended with additional data sources, such as external databases, Excel files or web services. |
| **Dashboard** | A dashboard is a set of interactive widgets that queries the information stored in the ElastiCube. You can control the dashboard functionality and design, and share it with additional users. |
| **Widget** | A widget is a dynamic visualization of data. There are many types of widgets available, for example: indicators, pie charts, bar charts, area maps, and pivot tables. |

An example of a dashboard where execution results are analyzed graphically is depicted in the following diagram:

# Back Up and Restore ElastiCube and Dashboards

WIP
Before changing the ElastiCube or dashboards, create a backup copy. This backup copy can then be used to roll back your changes, if needed.

## Creating a backup copy of the ElastiCube

Before changing ElastiCube, create a backup so you can always roll back your changes.

**To create an ElastiCube backup:**

1. As Sisense administrator, run the Sisense web application.

3. Locate the **CS\_BI\_Cube** tile. Click its options button and select **Export Model** to save the `*.smodel` file locally.
4. Provide a name and click **Save**.

## Restoring ElastiCube from a backup

You can use a backup copy to restore ElastiCube.

**To restore ElastiCube from a backup:**

1. As Sisense administrator, run the Sisense web application.

2. Click the **Data** tab.
3. Import the ElastiCube backup and make sure to give it the same name as the one you want to replace. Since the ElastiCube has the same name as the one you want to replace, no further actions are needed.
