Roll back Microsoft Entra ID

There may be situations where administrators have to perform multiple changes to their Entra ID environment simultaneously. Any unintended action can result in a change in data to multiple objects, making it can be hard to track all the changes that were made unintentionally.

To prevent data loss in these scenarios, RecoveryManager Plus provides an Entra ID rollback feature. This feature allows administrators to roll back their entire Entra ID to an earlier state before the disaster, and undoes all changes made since then.

How does it work?

RecoveryManager Plus periodically backs up all changes made to Entra objects, and stores each change as a different version. The rollback feature operates by creating rollback points for every backup operation performed.

When you want to roll back your Entra ID, RecoveryManager Plus makes a backup of all your Entra objects' current state. Once you select the rollback point you wish to restore to, RecoveryManager Plus compares all the objects between the current state and the backed up state. and provides you a list of all the objects that have had their attribute values changed. You can now select the objects you wish to restore, and return your Entra ID state to the original state.

Highlights

• Versatile functionality: Undo all operations like moves, modifications, deletion, and more.
• Version tracking: Track the number of changes made to an attribute and the date and time of changes so you can pick the right set of changes.
• Version history: Generate a comprehensive list of all the values the attribute has held over time, and select the version you wish to restore.
• Granular restoration: Restore the entire directory, particular objects, or even just an attribute to any rollback point.
• Review option: Get a preview of values to be restored before initiating the actual rollback process to avoid restoring unwanted values.
• Periodic full backups: Make a full backup of your Entra ID environment at fixed intervals to prevent the chain of incremental backups from becoming too long.
• Backup retention: Define the number of full backups to be retained, and discard older full backups, along with all subsequent incremental backups, to save storage space.
