Support for Windows device
Can users back up data on a Windows device?
The Druva Mobile App does not back up data on a Windows device. Apps on the Windows device get only 10 seconds every 30 minutes to update their tiles in the background. This is a very short duration for the Druva Mobile App to complete a backup operation in the background. You can access backup and share data by using the Druva Mobile App.
Can users add files to the Share folder by using the Druva Mobile App on their Windows device?
Yes. Users can access backup and share data by using the Druva Mobile App. They can also add content to their share folder by using the Druva Mobile App.
Single sign-on integration (Applicable for Cloud)
Is Single Sign-On (SSO) integrated with the Druva Mobile App?
Yes. Single sign-on (SSO) is integrated with the Druva Mobile App. If you have a Cloud account, you can configure SSO with the Druva Cloud. For more information, see Configure Single Sign-On forDruva users.
If SSO is integrated, can I deny access to the Druva Mobile App based on approved IP ranges or geographies?
You cannot deny access to the Druva Mobile App based on approved IP ranges or geographies. SSO is a one-time authentication. On successful user authentication, the Druva Mobile App does not send any request to the SSO server.

Yes. You can configure AD FS to communicate with SAML 2.0.

If users uninstall the Druva Mobile App from their mobile device, will their restored data also get deleted?

Can I make it mandatory for users to restore data only on corporate wireless connection?
No. You cannot make it mandatory for users to restore data only on the corporate wireless connections.
Can I backup large amount of data on iOS?
iOS platform has a known limitation of any app being able to execute only 3 minutes in the background. As a result, Druva Cloud might not be able to complete app data backups already handled.
In a rivate Cloud deployment, which ports does the Druva Mobile App use to send a backup or restore request to the Druva Edge Server? (Applicable for inSync On-Premises and iOS)
The Druva Mobile App uses ports 6061 and 6071 to send a backup or restore request to the Druva Edge Server. For more information on Druva Edge Server, see About Edge Server.
How are passwords secured on the Druva Mobile App?
On an iOS device, after successful user authentication, the inSync Master generates a device key for subsequent authentication. This key is securely saved on the keychain of the device.
On an Android device, the PIN that users set on the Druva Mobile App secures the user password.
