I have a client with a bunch of employees who all have iPads. Recently I've been assisting them with getting those iPads off of a single iCloud account (for 16 tablets!) and onto Apple's DEP program and managed by and MDM (Jamf Now).

So far, despite some frustrations, the process has gone pretty well. But I was told that none of the employees kept essential data on their tablets. Well now we're getting to a batch of them that DO store data like stuff in Notes and a few other spots. This is only challenging because in order to configure the tablets for DEP/MDM they must be wiped.

My question: is it possible to only back up some data from an iOS device, then restore only that bit afterwards? I don't want to restore things like account settings AT ALL. I just want them to be able to get their minor amount of data back after the wipe.

I have to prep these tablets using a MacBook, so I assume I'd back them up with iTunes (shudder). Can I restore in iTunes without restoring account data?
