FAQ: Cloud backup of XenMobile managed devices

Description
Is the Worx data encrypted within the backup? If so what is the encryption level?
Yes, as Xenmobile uses the iCloud services from Apple for backing up the data: iCloud secures your data by encrypting it when it's sent over the Internet, storing it in an encrypted format when kept on server (review the table below for detail), and using secure tokens for authentication. This means that your data is protected from unauthorized access both while it is being transmitted to your devices and when it is stored in the cloud. iCloud uses a minimum of 128-bit AES encryption-the same level of security employed by major financial institutions-and never provides encryption keys to any third parties.
If the data was to be restored to the same device would Worx continue to function?
Yes, as long as the same device and user is in the XMS DB should be fine.
What would happen if the backup was restored to an alternative device, would Worx continue to function?
No, the previous question answers this one. The restore should be done on the same device with the same user as all the data is in the DB (enrolled device/user) if you restore on a different device then Secure Hub/apps wouldn't be able to connect with the XMS after the restore.
