one more if I may, I see remote Antivirus scans, remote wipe, etc. I do not see remote backup. Is this not a feature, such as have the user plug in a USB external drive and click backup to remotely back them up or backup to an azure storage blob perhaps, before doing all kinds of maintenance or wiping/fresh starting a device? Perhaps powershell to the rescue but where to start on that?

Hello Richard, I would recommend using OneDrive for Business to back up any user files before proceeding with the operating system reload. This approach will ensure that all important data is securely saved and easily accessible after the system is reloaded. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/redirect-known-folders- RichR-VPSMar 20, 2024Brass Contributornot always possible due to restrictions on what can be stored there and what users have locally size wise, bandwidth wise etc. Allowing them to attach an external USB and have it encrypted and then performing the backup prior to a wipe etc. Perhaps allowing the intune admin to configure a company storage account in azure and the default storage goes there might help? onedrive might not be the best place for legacy app files, database files, code files, etc. Not all end users live 100% in office.
