Los Angeles – September 17, 2026 -- IDrive has added Microsoft Entra ID Backup to its Microsoft Office 365 Backup solution, extending data protection to identity and access management systems for $10 per Entra ID seat per year with unlimited storage.
Native Microsoft recovery tools leave identity data exposed to gaps
Microsoft Entra ID functions as the central control plane for workforce identities, applications, and privileged access across organizations. IDrive states that native retention and recovery capabilities may not fully protect critical Entra ID configurations, meaning the loss or modification of users, groups, applications, roles, policies, or devices can disrupt sign-ins and force time-consuming manual reconstruction.
New tool backs up users, roles, policies and BitLocker recovery keys
IDrive Microsoft Entra ID Backup automatically captures critical Entra ID objects and settings, including users, groups, roles and administrators, administrative units, app registrations, enterprise applications, devices, policies, sign-in logs, audit logs, device configurations, device compliance policies, and BitLocker recovery keys. Backup data is stored using AES-256 encryption with defined retention capabilities.
Point-in-time restore targets accidental changes and attacks
The platform supports point-in-time restore to recover objects to an earlier known-good state, aimed at mitigating accidental changes, misconfigurations, and attacks. Change tracking features provide historical snapshots and comparison views so administrators can identify modifications across users, groups, roles, and policies. Granular and bulk recovery options allow restoration of individual objects or multiple Entra ID elements together while preserving their relationships.
