Explanation

Data corruption (caused by software bugs, failed updates, or storage errors) destroys the data in place - no access control or wipe policy can recover it afterward. A remote application back-up stores copies of data and apps on a remote server, so if local data becomes corrupted, it can be restored from the clean backup. Passcode locks and location monitoring protect against unauthorized access or theft, not corruption. Remote wipe is a deliberate data-destruction tool, which would make a corruption event worse, not better.
