Below are two known issues and limitations within the current (June 2017) release of On Demand Backup and Recovery for Azure AD:- If you restore two groups which are members of the third group which was deleted, the third groupcan be duplicated after the restore operation. This issue is applied only to non-Office Groupswhich support nesting - Issue ID #18Workaround: To avoid this issue, the user needs either to restore groups one by one (order is notimportant) or restore all of them at once.

- Recovery for Azure Active Directory does not support restore of Contact objects. - Issue ID #130
- Recovery for Azure Active Directory does not support restore of dynamic groups (the feature of Azure AD Premium). If a user tries to restore dynamic group, the application will restore it as nondynamic - Issue ID #120 with all explicitly applied members.
- The following error is shown "Failed to add <user_name> to group All Users. Status: 403, Code: Authorization_RequestDenied" if you try to restore a user in Azure AD Premium that is a member of the All Users dynamic group. The similar error will be shown if the user is a member of any other dynamic group. - Issue ID #126 Workaround: To avoid this error, please restore only required properties and membership information using the Differences view.

- The Differences view shows objects that were permanently deleted before the backup creation (these objects should not be shown). Restore of these objects with GUIDs as names from the Difference view fails with Internal Error. Workaround: If you need to restore exactly these objects with original GUIDs, you should unpack the previous backup and try to find the objects in it - Issue ID #182
