While almost every business has some type of backup processes in place for their important servers, many of these same companies have neglected endpoint backup. There’s no doubt that servers are more important as they provide a platform for the business-critical applications and services that the business relies on but they are not the only critical component to productivity.
Endpoints, like laptops and desktop, also require data protection measures to protect against system failures, disaster and user error. Endpoints can be hit with ransomware that can encrypt your files, the system can fail to boot up, or some important file might get deleted accidentally. Endpoint protection can be especially important for devices that are used by your corporate executives; if they fail you know you’re going to hear about it. While these types of events usually don’t impact the operations of the business itself, they most certainly do impact the productivity of the employees involved.

Some of the most important capabilities of endpoint backup include:
