Microsoft Entra ID Backup

Secure, recoverable identity protection for Microsoft Entra ID built into NinjaOne SaaS Backup.

Protect the identity that powers Microsoft 365

Microsoft Entra ID manages authentication and access across Microsoft 365 but lacks item-level restore for most directory changes. NinjaOne SaaS Backup for Microsoft Entra ID automatically backs up identity and security configuration data, enabling fast recovery when access is compromised.

Prevent lockouts and configuration loss

Accidental deletions, sync errors, or malicious edits can permanently remove Entra ID objects. Entra Backup removes that risk with quick, granular recovery of users, groups, and permissions, reducing downtime and keeping your organization connected.

Built for identity security

Protect against configuration drift and privilege escalation with secure, incremental backups. All backups are encrypted in transit and at rest, fully auditable, and easily restored for complete control over your Microsoft 365 identity layer.

Microsoft Entra ID is Microsoft’s identity and access management (IAM) solution. It secures authentication, access policies, and security configurations across Microsoft 365 and connected applications.

While M365 backup protects content like emails and files, Entra ID is the foundation of identity security—managing users, permissions, and policies. Without a backup, misconfigurations or malicious changes can disrupt entire IT environments.

For a 10-seat organization, saving just 2.5 hours per year makes Entra Backup cost-effective. Organizations can save up to 8 hours per incident by eliminating time-consuming troubleshooting.

User data backups alone don’t protect identity settings. Entra Backup protects Users, M365 Groups, Roles and Admins to ensure seamless restoration after disruptions.

A common misconception is that Microsoft is protecting the Entra ID data and configuration state. This is not correct. Microsoft explicitly states: ‘Unintended deletions and misconfigurations will happen to your tenant. To minimize the impact of these unintended events, you must prepare for their occurrence.’

Entra Backup:

  • Protects against accidental and malicious data lost
  • Saves hours of detective work and recovery time
  • Helps meet compliance requirements
