The Challenge of Configuring Backup Plans for Many Endpoints
Configuring backup plans on many endpoints can be challenging for a few reasons. First of all, configuring backup plans may require knowledge of a specific set of configurations. For example, backup plans may need to be configured for different types of data, each with their own unique settings. Memorizing all these settings and applying them manually might be hard for the admin.
Secondly, manually configuring backup plans on a large number of endpoints can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. This may even lead to inconsistencies and errors.
Also, frequent reviews and updates need to be done to ensure business continuity and compliance. Making changes to the backup plans manually can be challenging when dealing with a large number of endpoints.
