To the best of my knowledge, you've basically got two options for backing up iDevices: iCloud, and iTunes.
Ignoring entirely the pig's breakfast Apple tends to make out of online services, iTunes is still the superior option for this, because (provided you have encryption turned on for the backups) it'll grab the credential store as well, meaning that after restore you don't have to stuff creds into 40 apps by hand. That said, I'd not trust local storage on an iPad for anything "Important," which is why most of the stuff I use syncs with "the cloud" via Dropbox, Evernote, etc. If my iPad gets snatched, I'm out some time to get a new one, but I haven't lost data. How difficult this is going to be depends largely upon your userbase, of course. -- Corey On Jun 5, 2013, at 10:33 AM, Ski Kacoroski <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > $employer is moving to get a lot of iPads. $employees have the expectations > that anything they have on any $employer owned device will be backed up and > that IT can get their data back.
