Keeping endpoint data recoverable starts with understanding what a backup tool covers and what recovery it supports. Compare backup scope and supported endpoint OS, then look at bare-metal recovery and retention period in relation to your recovery requirements. Ransomware protection and devices per license add further points to assess coverage. IDrive, EaseUS Todo Backup, and Infrascale Workstation Backup are among the options, along with UrBackup. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing can help you compare cost with the endpoints and recovery needs you have to support.
