"This new business backup feature simplifies the management of Windows devices and accelerates the transition to Windows 11. The feature was first announced at Microsoft Ignite in 2024 and has been available in public preview since May 2025. Following the Windows update in September 2025, the service is now being rolled out widely to organizations. The feature is intended for devices linked to Microsoft Entra and must be activated manually via Intune or group policy."
"When enabled, Windows Backup can save settings, preferences, and apps installed via the Microsoft Store from Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems. When setting up a new device or upgrading to Windows 11, this data can be automatically restored, allowing users to get to work faster and requiring less configuration. Microsoft says the new backup option simplifies IT management by preserving user settings and applications when devices are renewed or replaced."
Windows Backup for Organizations is now generally available and simplifies management and migration to Windows 11 for devices linked to Microsoft Entra. Administrators must enable the feature manually via Intune or group policy. The service saves settings, preferences, and Microsoft Store apps from Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems and can automatically restore that data during device setup or upgrades. Stored backups reside in Exchange Online within the tenant's region, and administrators can view storage location in the Admin Center under Organization Profile. Customer data is encrypted, accessible only to supervised employees, and used solely to deliver agreed services. Backup policies must be configured before use.
