Introduction

We all have user data, both personal and corporate data, and when it comes to corporate data, some of this data can often reside outside of our company's managed infrastructure. IT administrators often tend to struggle to protect corporate data that employees store and consume on their endpoint devices, be it a tablet, a laptop, or an all-in-one device.

When a company successfully implements a strategy to backup endpoint devices, the service often comes with restrictions on what is actually supported, the type of files that can be backed up, or the amount of data that can be backed up.
