Why Microsoft Entra ID needs backup
Microsoft Entra ID (previously Azure AD) underpins identity and access for Microsoft 365, Azure workloads, and thousands of third-party SaaS apps. Outages, human error, and misconfigurations in Entra ID can lock users out of email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, or even critical line-of-business systems.
But here’s the problem: Microsoft does not provide a native backup for Entra ID.
Users and groups: Recoverable for only 30 days after deletion.
Most other objects: including Conditional Access policies, applications, and devices, are hard-deleted immediately. Once removed, they’re gone forever.
Rebuilding policies manually is time-consuming and prone to error, increasing downtime and security risk.
Identity is the new security perimeter. Without a reliable backup, any accidental or malicious change to Entra ID can ripple across your organisation and grind operations to a halt.
What Redstor protects
Unlike Microsoft’s limited retention, Redstor backs up and recovers your entire Entra ID tenant. Coverage spans identities, apps, devices, and access controls, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Identity
Users, groups, roles and role assignments, admin units, and external identities. Restore deleted users with memberships and roles intact to prevent downtime from accidental or malicious deletion.
Access & Applications
Conditional Access policies, app registrations, enterprise applications, and service principals. Roll back misconfigured access policies instantly to avoid lockouts and productivity loss.
Devices & Endpoint
Devices, Intune device compliance policies, and Intune configuration profiles. Recover device posture and configuration settings to maintain compliance and keep endpoints secure.
Visibility & Security
Audit logs and sign-in logs. Preserve vital evidence for security investigations, regulatory audits, or incident response.
With Redstor, you don’t just get a backup, you get granular, relationship-aware protection across the entire identity estate.
Undo the Oops. Restore Without Rebuild.

Setup takes minutes with secure, app-based consent, no hardware or software required.
What happens if I delete a user in Entra ID?
