Restore Azure objects

This tab allows you to restore entire Azure AD objects or individual attributes to a backed up state.

To restore any AD object,

  • Navigate to Azure AD tab → Azure AD → Restore.

RecoveryManager Plus provides two views to explore Azure AD objects in each backup.

  1. Snapshot view
  2. Changes view

Snapshot view

The Snapshot view is the default restoration view. When you select a backup point, RecoveryManager Plus displays the values of all the objects at the time of the selected backup point and the present value. If an object has undergone multiple changes, you can view all the previous versions with this view. You can either choose to restore a version completely or selectively restore particular attributes.

  • Select the tenant that contains the object to be restored from the Tenant drop-down box.
  • Click on the icon-backup icon to select a particular backup. In the pop-up that appears, provide the approximate time when the object was modified in the Period field. Once the time period is specified, RecoveryManager Plus lists the total number of backups available till the selected time.
  • To search for any particular object from your backup, click the icon-search icon located below the select backup field.
  • You can either choose to restore a version completely by marking the check-box against the object name or selectively restore particular attributes from a version. To selectively restore individual attributes, click on the number in the Number of backups field corresponding to the object. In the tab that appears, you can view all the changes that the object has undergone and restore the attribute to any of those values.
  • Click Restore to complete the restoration process.

Changes view

In this view, the last backup value of an object's attribute is compared with the value in the selected backup and you can restore the Azure AD objects to a previous state instantly.

  • Select the tenant that contains the object to be restored from the Tenant drop-down box.
  • Click on the Changes view tab at the top.
  • Click on the icon-backup icon to select a particular backup. In the pop-up that appears, provide the approximate time when the object was modified in the Period field.
  • To search for any particular object from your backup, click the icon-search icon located below the select backup field.
  • Click on the object that you wish to restore.
  • You can either choose to restore a version completely by marking the check-box against the object name or selectively restore particular attributes from a version. To selectively restore individual attributes, click on the number in the Number of Property Changes field corresponding to the object and select the attributes that you would like to restore.
