Discussions of Mac OS X security often focus primarily on the aspects of defending a network against external intrusions and vulnerabilities. To complement malware protection, the inclusion of a comprehensive backup solution that ensures data integrity and restoration capabilities is an essential component of a healthy and secure Mac OS X environment.

Comprehensive security includes data protection and eliminating vulnerabilities that may be introduced through data loss, regardless of the location of machines. Automating the backup process allows IT administrators to quickly deliver and report on the status of their backups, ensuring compliance throughout the client management lifecyle.
