Microsoft 365: Entra ID Backup & Recovery

A new extended 30-day backup and recovery feature for Entra objects will become available, enabling point-in-time restore capabilities beyond the existing 7-day recovery for P1/P2 license holders. This provides customers and ISV applications with enhanced disaster recovery and object restoration options through both the M365 Backup native app and Entra admin portal.

Action required: Review and plan for adoption of the new 30-day Entra backup and recovery capability; determine which users will have access via the M365 Backup native app and which will use the Entra admin portal for advanced recovery options.

Microsoft's description

Enable extended 30-day backup and recovery for a tenant's Entra objects via the Microsoft 365 Backup native app or M365 Backup Storage platform APIs. This capability allows customers and ISV apps to do a point in time restore of Entra objects to a last known good state to a rolling historical 30-day point. Advanced recovery features are currently limited to the Entra admin portal, but some user recovery actions will be possible via the M365 Backup native app UX in the M365 Admin center. Note that the existing 7-day recovery that comes with a customer's P1 & P2 licenses is already generally available and is independent of this roadmap item.
