About On Demand Recovery

Quest® On Demand Recovery cloud application lets you perform the following operations:

  • Backup Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365 users, groups, contacts, service principals, device information, Conditional Access policies, navigation properties, and Application Proxy settings.
  • Support for Microsoft Entra B2C tenants.
  • Restore Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365 users, groups, service principals, devices, Conditional Access policies, inactive mailboxes for permanently deleted users, and Application Proxy settings. The application can process two types of Microsoft 365 groups: Microsoft 365 groups and security groups. Group membership and ownership is restored for both types of groups.
  • Backup and restore multifactor authentication settings.
  • View differences between the selected backup and live Microsoft Entra ID or Microsoft 365 and revert unwanted changes in the Differences report.
  • Configure integration with Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory to restore on-premises Active Directory objects.

The objects can be selected in a backup and then restored to Microsoft Entra ID or Microsoft 365 without affecting other objects or attributes. Using the granular restore, objects that were accidentally deleted or modified can be recovered in a few minutes.

On Demand Recovery can be started from Quest On Demand single SaaS command point. For more information about Quest On Demand, see the Quest On Demand product documentation.

To access On Demand, you need to provide On Demand credentials or use your existing Quest Software account. For more details, see Signing up for Quest On Demand in the On Demand Global Settings User Guide.

On Demand Recovery Module Overview

The main screen, called Dashboard, is opened after you connect to your Microsoft Entra tenant. The user interface of the administrative console consists of four main screens:

  • Dashboard
    This is the main screen in the module. It is a source of all general information regarding current project status. You can view and open tasks from the Dashboard, view and manage available connections, view object charts and monitor recent errors. The toolbar provides links to most general tasks such as managing tenants, unpacking backups and browsing objects to restore.
  • Backups
    This screen shows a list of backups that were created for the selected tenant.
  • Unpacked Objects
    This screen contains all objects that were extracted from the selected backup and operations you can perform on them.
  • Differences
    This screen allows you to compare the current state of objects in live Microsoft Entra ID or Microsoft 365 with their state in a backup and roll back unwanted changes. This helps when troubleshooting problems that may result from the deletion or modification of critical objects.
  • Events
    This screen provides you with detailed information about errors and warnings that occur during backup creation and restore operations.
  • Tasks
    This screen allows you to view task statuses and manage them.
