Hybrid Recovery with On Demand Recovery

Recovery Manager for Active Directory integration with On Demand Recovery enables the restoration and undelete of on-premises objects that are synchronized with Azure Active Directory.

About the Hybrid Connector

The Hybrid Connector Windows service establishes a secure connection to the On Demand Recovery online service enabling simultaneous restoration of both on-premises and online objects.

What can be restored using hybrid recovery

  • On-premises groups

  • Office 365® licenses (assignedLicenses property for cloud users) and cloud group membership

  • Deleted on-premises users and groups

  • Service principals' appRoleAssignments to on-premises users

  • appRoleAssignments to non-Office 365® groups (used for SSO and App Roles)

  • Directory roles: Global administrator, Exchange administrator, Compliance administrator

  • Other cloud-only properties: such as Block sign in, Authentication contact information, Minors and Consent

  • Multifactor authentication (MFA) settings if a customer uses cloud MFA

  • Azure® application custom attributes (schema extension attributes)

  • Conditional access policies

  • Inactive mailboxes of permanently deleted users; the Federated Domain scenario is also supported.

Important Considerations

To restore on-premises objects, On Demand Recovery uses attribute values from the RMAD backup that is closest in time but older than the cloud backup unpacked in the On Demand Recovery user interface. If the closest on-premises backup is 24 hours older than the cloud backup, you will receive the warning message.

By default, the search of the closest in time on-premises backup is performed among the backups that were unpacked in RMAD. You can use the Use unpack and encrypted backups for restore operations option on Hybrid Recovery settings of RMAD – in this case, the on-premises backup will be unpacked automatically during the restore operation.

On Demand Recovery shows only on-premises attributes synchronized with the cloud and cloud-only attributes for the selected object when you click Browse in the Restore Objects dialog. On-premises only attributes are not included in this list. To restore on-premises only attributes, you must select the Restore all attributes option in the Restore Objects dialog.

After the hybrid restore operation, On Demand Recovery forces Azure AD Connect synchronization to push on-premises changes to the cloud and wait until it completes the synchronization. Restore events can be used to track steps of Azure AD Connect synchronization, such as export and import.

To restore 'member' or 'memberOf' attributes for an object, restore the group from the Unpacked Objects view. Restoring of group memberships from the Differences report is not supported in hybrid environments.

Hybrid restore from the Differences report uses attribute values from the on-premises backup. These values may be different from the corresponding values shown in the Differences report.

On Demand Recovery supports one hybrid connection per On Demand organization. If you need to manage multiple hybrid tenants, create a separate On Demand organization for each Hybrid Azure AD tenant.

On Demand Recovery restores Back Link attributes: 'memberOf' (the back link for the 'member' attribute) and 'directReports' (the back link for the 'manager' attribute). These attributes can be selected along with all other attributes when you click Browse in the Restore Objects dialog.

Separate Microsoft Azure Relay service is used for each hybrid connection (one per On Demand organization). On Demand Recovery creates WCF Relay per On Demand organization. No changes to On-Premises Firewall settings are required.

On Demand Recovery users can restore objects from all on-premises domains and forests that are synchronized with the Azure AD tenant. Also, in Recovery Manager, you need to add domain controllers for every domain that will be restored and specify the account under which the restore operation will be performed.

Required Permissions

Depending on which kind of restore operation (agent-based or agentless) you are going to perform in a hybrid configuration, the account under which you want the selected Recovery Manager for Active Directory instance to recover data in the domain must meet the corresponding requirements. For details about account permissions for agent-based and agentless restore, see Permissions required to use Recovery Manager for Active Directory.

To push an Azure® synchronization, the specified account must be a member of the ADSyncOperators group on the Azure® Active Directory® synchronization server. This account must also be able to run remote PowerShell commands against the server.

How to disable hybrid integration on the Web Portal

If hybrid integration is configured on the Web Portal it must be disabled prior to configuring hybrid integration from the Recovery Manager for AD (RMAD) console. Failure to do so may result in a failed online restoration.
