Migrating ipad with Maas360

I am turning in a work iPad Pro and purchasing an iPad Air. I have the backup from the iPad Pro that I would like to move over to the new iPad Air. The build currently includes MaaS360 MDM software. Is there any way to remove this app after restoring the backup to the new machine?

iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Cell 5G

You will need to seek assistance from your IT System Administrator. Your “work” iPad is centrally managed - and as such is likely to have data/information that your employer may not allow you to transfer to a personal device.


If your employer is happy to allow you to transfer data and settings to your own iPad, they will likely need to remove restrictions and/or device management before you will be able to perform data transfer.


Be aware that if you attempt to transfer data from your current iPad directly to the new iPad before the MDM profile is removed, your personal iPad may be automatically enrolled into your employer’s management system - from which you may not be able to escape without assistance from your IT Department.
