Here in IT land we don’t often talk about laptop or notebook
backup for whatever reason – could be that data is too large and costly to
backup, too hard to have a solution for mobile computer devices that aren’t
always connected to your corporate network, you have Mac OS X computers not
just PC’s, it’s the mobile computer owners issue, it’s too complex for our
staff to use or it’s just too hard!
EVault Endpoint Protection also known as EEP, may be able to
help you out. EEP provides you with client computer backup for mobile computing
on the move for both PC and yes, Mac OSX.
You begin with centralised administration policies to start
with; what to backup and what each EEP client can do. That way after each
computer is authorised with EEP, clients don’t have to do anything to start
backing up their data. Of course for those power users there’s always that
option – if you let them.
For those mobile computers that aren’t always connected, EEP
will continue to backup locally in case you delete or need to get back an
earlier version of a document, until you’re back online and EEP will automatically
start transferring the locally backed up data to the cloud.
Apart from the standard data encryption on client and in
transit to the cloud, EEP also gives you the capability for remote wiping
protected data on a device. Hey - we’ve had it for mobile phones for a while –
about time we had it for mobile computers!
While you may not so be inclined – if you’re concerned about
data leakage EEP provides a way of allowing what data can copied to connected
devices – again through a centrally managed policy.
The concept of self service is becoming more of a standard
offering as IT departments need to become more efficient with their time and as
technologies mature enough to make it easier to do so. The EEP restore
interface makes it simple to choose what files you want back from your list of
backed up files, choose the date from the calendar and restore the file.
Mobile computing backup shouldn’t be hard – so give it to
someone who can make it easy, EVault Endpoint Protection.
