Windows Backup for Organizations with Intune: the complete 2026 guide
Back up and restore users' Windows settings during a PC refresh with Intune: prerequisites, configuration, Autopilot and troubleshooting.
A Microsoft consultant for more than 10 years, I design and roll out device management and endpoint security environments for organizations: Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot, Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. On this blog and on YouTube, I share practical, field-tested guides.

I’m Devices Practice Leader & Microsoft Intune consultant at Wakers, in Lille, France. For more than ten years, I’ve helped organizations of all sizes move their Microsoft infrastructure to the cloud and secure their endpoints.
This blog is my field notebook: every article starts from a real need met on a project, with concrete steps, pitfalls to avoid and links to the official Microsoft documentation.
Designing device and mobile management: compliance, configuration policies, apps, MAM and BYOD.
Zero-touch Windows 11 provisioning, Autopilot device preparation, migration from MECM / SCCM.
Deployment, hardening (ASR, Tamper Protection), monitoring and incident response.
Device join, Conditional Access, strong authentication and Zero Trust.
I regularly speak in the Microsoft community (see my Sessionize profile) and publish a monthly video on my YouTube channel (in French), including the “What’s new in Intune” series.
