Corporate usage

got one big question, can this be used in corporate environment?

from what i test for few days, cmiiw, each client is connected with their own login and this login is the key to restore.

without this login, data cant be restore, am i right?

that’s great for personal laptop.

but, in corporate working environment, laptop and all data is own by the company where we works.

so is there any ways company can restore users’ data without knowing users’ login?

(for example, the user already resigned and laptop is locked down with bitlocker)

Use a Kopia server, which you probably would do anyway in a larger environment. The repo owner can always access all data.

actually that is my question.

i already setup a server.

how can i, as server admin, restore a user backup without knowing the user’s login?

It depends, I guess. If you’re connected to the Kopia server’s UI itself, you can select all snapshots from all users under the “Local sbapshots” button and go from there. Or, you could create another user account an grant that one access to the user’s data you want to restore and then use that user.

The last part is often a good way to have tests done on say database dumps&backups, to make sure you can restore them and also turn it into a working database again, done from a separate client, preferably using a script that runs every X hours and tests this procedure.
