Changes to applications’ backup and restore behavior on iOS/iPadOS and macOS devices
Hello Intune_Support_Team,
following Joachimb89‘s last blog question from July 2023, I do have the same question regarding backing up Office Apps and its data with iCloud Backup.
What kind of app data is even backed up using the new prevention feature compared without using it?
- the app itself or only a reference to the app so it is re-installed from App Store after restore?
- App including its data saved in managed locations like OneDrive for Business?
- App including its data saved in iCloud if access not blocked by any other means?
- App including its data saved locally to devices?
- only the Information from where the app should by installed after restoring the device (cloud symbol vs “Waiting…”)?
- behavior of Microsoft Authenticator App: restoring account information only possible with icloud backup combined with MSA (Microsoft Account)?
Using the same configuration like Joachimb89 I would appreciate a best practice guide for backing up a supervised iOS device with private use allowed (managed Authenticator App, and all Office Apps protected by managed app protection policy blocking access to iCloud).
Best regards
