- Windows backup for organizations is launched with a unique turn
- Maintains its Windows configuration and a list of its applications
- Disc images are not included, file copies and disaster recovery
Microsoft has been occupied lately by adding new functions to Windows for commercial users, but its latest version, Windows Backup for organizations, is an inappropriate name, since it does not really support its data.
A new company blog announced the general availability of Windows backup for organizations, designed for devices attached to Windows 10 or 11 enters.
However, it is not a complete backup of the device, so the new tool does not cover disc images, file copies or disaster recovery.
The central functionality of the tool is to make a backup copy of the Windows configuration and maintain a list of Microsoft Store applications installed. It will also restore configuration and applications in the start menu in Windows 11 (22h2 or posterior).
Writing in the launch publication, Microsoft products manager, Miranda Leschke, pointed out how administrators can help restart or migrate devices, and admit a fluid transition between Windows 10 and 11, something that many organizations have delayed, but an imminent task for many with the imminent October 14 of Windows 10 end of life of life.
Windows 10 22h2 only works for backups, but Windows 11 22h2+ will work with backup and restoration. Microsoft’s decision not to include restoration capabilities in its operating system that will soon be unpleasant is another remarkable thrust towards Windows 11.
Disabled by default, IT administrators must configure backup policies and restore for Windows backup for organizations.
From the restoration point using the new tool, the remaining experience outside the box (OOBE) is the same. After completing the OOBE, user profiles and preferences will be automatically restored.
