Laptop

The Laptop application provides a simple web-based user interface for administration tasks, providing streamlined backup, archive, and recovery for end-user devices such as laptops and desktops.

Important

Use the Laptop backup solution for secure and efficient backup of end-user data on edge devices. The Laptop backup solution automatically recycles offline devices and reclaims space.
For production environments and critical data, we strongly recommend implementing the File Server backup solution. The File Server backup solution is designed for long-term retention and compliance needs.

To get started quickly, you can perform a simple configuration and then initiate protection operations immediately. After configuration is complete, you can back up, archive, and restore data, and you can manage jobs, schedules, alerts, events, and users.

Key Features

Fully automated deployment: IT administrators can centrally manage and automate mass deployment using mobile device management (MDM) services.
Fully customizable, plan-based automatic backups: Secure protection for business-critical data on laptops and desktops through source-side deduplication, scheduling, and intelligent bandwidth throttling.
End user self-service: End users can access their backed up data from smart phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops using mobile apps, and a web-based portal. End users can retrieve, manage, and view all of their protected files and e-mails in a cloud-based storage repository, and securely share files for collaboration.
Data loss prevention and remote wipe: Prevent unauthorized access to data on laptops by using file-level security that includes securely erasing data and locking sensitive files.
Migration Assistant: To easily set up a new laptop, end users can move backed up data and user settings (appearance and personalization settings, browser settings, network settings, and more) from their old laptop to their new laptop.
