Folder Backup
Table of Contents
Why do you need folder backup?
Folder backup is crucial for several reasons. Primarily, it serves as a safeguard against data loss. Accidental deletions, hardware failures, or malicious attacks can result in irretrievable loss of important files, and by regularly backing up your folders, you create additional copies that can be restored if the original data is compromised. The folder backup feature in Endpoint Central facilitates disaster recovery as folder backups protect against human errors such as accidental modifications or deletions, allowing you to restore previous versions or retrieve deleted files easily. Additionally, backups guard against data corruption, providing clean, uncorrupted versions of files to replace damaged ones.
