Endpoint Backup Readiness
Are your employee endpoints actually recoverable?
Identify the laptops and workstations where critical local data could be lost to user error, ransomware, hardware failure or device theft. Get a readiness result and practical next steps for closing the gaps.
Find uncovered endpoints
Identify where critical local business data still lives.
Check recovery readiness
Check whether backup status and restore outcomes are visible and tested.
Prioritize next steps
Review coverage for the files, volumes and systems that keep the business or client environment running.
Not every device needs the same policy
Endpoint backup should follow the data, not every device
For many users, business files already live in managed servers or cloud applications. The gap appears when critical files, project data or line-of-business information remains on a laptop or workstation, and the recovery process has not been verified. This readiness check helps you identify which devices justify dedicated backup and whether your controls can restore the data when it matters.
Use your result to prioritize the workloads and recovery controls that need attention now. OpenText backup specialists can help you review options for Microsoft 365, employee endpoints and servers.
One server backup product, two operating realities
MSP service manager
Add server recovery to the security services you already manage
Start separate trials or subscriptions by customer or site, assign policies, monitor protected servers and manage recovery activity with role-based access. Choose OpenText-hosted storage for a simpler start or use your own AWS account when storage control is part of your service model.
SMB infrastructure module
Protect critical servers without adding a proprietary backup appliance
Use encrypted public cloud backup for supported Windows servers, monitor backup status from one management view and recover at the level the incident requires. Choose the hosted path for simpler storage operations or keep backup data in your organization’s AWS account.
Check your endpoint backup readiness
Seven questions. One clear result.
The assessment checks whether critical endpoint data is covered, controlled by IT, visible and recoverable.
Step 1 of 2
Built for how you manage endpoints
One assessment, two audiences
For SMB IT teams
Protect the business data that still lives on employee devices
Standardize backup for the laptops and workstations that hold critical local files. Give IT central policy control and a clear recovery response without making every user manage backup.
For MSPs
Prioritize the client endpoints where recovery matters most
Not every client workstation carries the same risk. Start with critical users, specialized workstations and devices where a failed recovery would disrupt the client. Use the result to scope the conversation.
Security and governance
Protect endpoint data with controls built for distributed work
- Encrypted endpoint backup with global deduplication.
- Centralized dashboard and role-based access control.
- Device location tracking and remote wipe.
- SSO, two-factor authentication and legal hold capabilities.
- Bandwidth-aware backups designed to limit network disruption.
- A control framework based on SOC 2 Type 2, with support for common regulatory requirements.
The upgrade was very smooth and straightforward. It just involved loading a new client and tweaking our policy to our liking.

FAQs
Which endpoints should have dedicated backup?
Prioritize laptops and workstations that hold business-critical data not reliably protected elsewhere, or where recovery requirements justify a dedicated endpoint backup policy.
Which devices are supported?
Current public product materials list Windows 10 and later, Windows 11 on Arm-based devices, and macOS 12 and later. Confirm the current support matrix before deployment.
Is endpoint backup the same as endpoint protection?
No. Endpoint protection helps prevent, detect and respond to threats. Endpoint backup protects copies of business data so it can be recovered after deletion, damage, ransomware or device loss. The capabilities are complementary.
Do cloud sync and SaaS backup remove the need for endpoint backup?
They may reduce the need for dedicated backup on devices whose business data is reliably stored and protected elsewhere. The readiness check identifies local files and recovery dependencies that remain on endpoints.
Can IT manage backup without relying on users?
Yes. OpenText Core Endpoint Backup supports silent deployment, automated policy-based backup and central administration.
What happens if a laptop is lost or stolen?
Authorized administrators can restore required data, locate the device and remotely wipe it when appropriate.
Where can backup data be stored?
Public product materials describe OpenText cloud, public-cloud and on-site deployment options. Availability and packaging should be confirmed for the target market.
How does the product reduce network impact?
The product uses encrypted global deduplication and bandwidth controls designed to reduce repeated data and limit disruption.
Can I see the product before speaking with sales?
Yes. The current interactive Endpoint Backup tour can be viewed without a sign-up.
