Devices

Devices registered in your identity platform carry more information than most teams realize. Beyond basic registration details, they hold configuration data, security keys, and historical records that can become critical at exactly the wrong moment — when a device is already gone.

What Kasca backs up

Kasca captures a full snapshot of your registered devices, including all properties available at the time of backup. This includes device details, registration status, and — crucially — security-sensitive information such as BitLocker recovery keys and LAPS passwords.

Why devices cannot be fully restored

Unlike users or groups, devices cannot be rehydrated back into your environment after deletion. This is a platform limitation — once a device record is hard-deleted, there is no supported path to recreate it in its original state. Kasca does not change this.

Where Kasca makes the difference

What Kasca does is ensure that the data does not disappear with the device record. When a device is removed — intentionally or by mistake — the backup remains fully accessible. This means you can still retrieve BitLocker recovery keys for devices that are no longer registered, access LAPS passwords for machines that have been wiped or decommissioned, and review historical device details for audit or compliance purposes.

In practice, this matters most in scenarios where a device is urgently needed — a decommissioned machine that needs to be accessed, a lost device whose recovery key was never noted elsewhere, or a compliance audit requiring records of devices that no longer exist in your environment.
