### What is a one sentence summary of your feature request? Implement the ability for Recovery for AD to be able to backup and restore Entra ID objects ### Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc. There is no native backup capabilities in Entra ID today for objects. When making changes to objects or deleting them, if there is an accidental change made that impacts operations of Entra ID it is sometimes hard to decipher what change may have caused the impact. The ability to take backups of Entra ID and review changes between backups can help identify which of these changes may have been problematic. It also gives the ability to restore deleted items that may have been unintentionally deleted. ### How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature? Would have to leverage another tool to tackle this challenge today. ---

This is a great idea and actually something we’re currently building within Recovery for Active Directory. It will be delivered with the next release. ---
