When you enable Enterprise State Roaming, your organization is automatically granted a free, limited-use license for Azure Rights Management protection from Azure Information Protection. This free subscription is limited to encrypting and decrypting enterprise settings and application data synced by Enterprise State Roaming. You must have [a paid subscription](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/information-protection/) to use the full capabilities of the Azure Rights Management service.

# What is enterprise state roaming?
1919

2020
With Windows 10 or newer, [Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)](../fundamentals/active-directory-whatis.md) users gain the ability to securely synchronize their user settings and application settings data to the cloud. Enterprise State Roaming provides users with a unified experience across their Windows devices and reduces the time needed for configuring a new device. Enterprise State Roaming operates similar to the standard [consumer settings sync](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2015135) that was first introduced in Windows 8. Additionally, Enterprise State Roaming offers:

* **Separation of corporate and consumer data** – Organizations are in control of their data, and there is no mixing of corporate data in a consumer cloud account or consumer data in an enterprise cloud account.
23-
* **Enhanced security** – Data is automatically encrypted before leaving the user’s Windows 10 or newer device by using Azure Rights Management (Azure RMS), and data stays encrypted at rest in the cloud. All content stays encrypted at rest in the cloud, except for the namespaces, like settings names and Windows app names.
24-
* **Better management and monitoring** – Provides control and visibility over who syncs settings in your organization and on which devices through the Azure AD portal integration.

Enterprise State Roaming is available in multiple Azure regions. You can find the updated list of available regions on the [Azure Services by Regions](https://azure.microsoft.com/regions/#services) page under Azure Active Directory.

## What is backup?
34-
35-
Windows settings generally sync by default, but some settings are only backed up, such as the list of installed applications on a device. Backup is for mobile devices only and currently not available for Enterprise State Roaming users. Backup uses a Microsoft account and stores the settings and application data into OneDrive. If a user disables sync on the device using the Settings app, application data that normally syncs becomes backup only. Backup data can only be accessed through the restore operation during the first run experience of a new device. Backups can be disabled via the device settings, and can be managed and deleted through the user’s OneDrive account.
