Fix Recommendation

Configure Samsung Android Work Environment to disable backup to remote systems (including commercial clouds) (device management backup).

This requirement is inherently met for COPE because data in a "Profile/Workspace" cannot be backed up by default.

This guidance is applicable to COBO only.

On the management tool, in the Work Environment restrictions section, set "Backup service" to "Disallow".

Check Contents

Review Samsung Android configuration settings to determine if the capability to back up to a remote system has been disabled.

This requirement is inherently met for COPE because data in a "Profile/Workspace" cannot be backed up by default.

This validation procedure is applicable to COBO only.

This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool Administration Console and the Samsung Android device.

On the management tool, in the Work Environment restrictions section, verify that "Backup service" is set to "Disallow".

On the Samsung Android device, do the following:
1. Open Settings >> Accounts and backup >> Backup and restore.
2. Verify that "Backup service not available" is listed.

If on the management tool "Backup service" is not set to "Disallow", or on the Samsung Android device "Backup service not available" is not listed, this is a finding.
