Explanation
A remote wipe sends a command over the network to erase all data on the device, making it unrecoverable by whoever has the device. Device encryption protects data from being read without the key but does not remove the data-someone with advanced tools might still attempt extraction. A data backup protects your copy of the data but does nothing to secure the lost device. A fingerprint reader is an access control measure that can be bypassed with physical access and the right tools, and does not erase data.
