Storware Endpoints client is an application designed to backup and restore data from client devices (laptops/desktops) running the Windows operating system.

**Note:** MacOS client is currently available in technical preview mode only.
{% endhint %}

The application utilizes Continuous Data Protection (CDP) which provides comprehensive protection for all information and is able to provide the most optimal and secure access to corporate/private data.

The Storware Endpoints client application has exceptional and unique features that address the issues that exist in every organization:

* Continuous data protection (CDP)
* Incremental backup
* File versioning
* Deduplication and compression on the source (endpoint)
* "Right-click" approach restore for files
* "Point-in-time" restore
* Privacy policy, integration with the IBM Spectrum Protect server.
* User data encryption

The Storware Endpoints client must be installed and configured on each endpoint to protect its data with CDP functionality, as well as recover data. The Storware Endpoints client can be installed using the following installation method:

1. [Client installer](/70/deployment/endpoints-how-to-install/client-deployment/client-installer.md) package to deploy it locally on the endpoint.
2. Sending the [Deployment email "Magic Link"](/70/deployment/endpoints-how-to-install/client-deployment/deployment-email.md) and the links to download the Storware Endpoints client installer.
3. Using [GPO](/70/deployment/endpoints-how-to-install/client-deployment/client-installation-using-gpo.md) feature or MS SCCM application.
