Jamf Administrators: Your Backup Deployment Just Got Simpler
Aug 19, 2026Kari Wilson

Summary
This post introduces two new methods for device-to-user matching during Backblaze Computer Backup deployment via Jamf: 'Fixed email' for environments with pre-assigned user data, and 'Dynamic user detection' which associates the device with a user upon their first login. This allows for mixed deployment strategies within the same fleet, simplifying the management of device ownership and ensuring consistent backup coverage without manual intervention or custom scripting for edge cases.
