This paper presents six key scenarios where dedicated Entra ID backup significantly enhances identity resilience. It explains how attackers manipulate configurations slowly to evade detection and how long-term log retention supports compliance. The paper highlights granular restoration of individual identity objects, overcoming recycle-bin limitations, precision recovery for incident response, and ensuring consistency across hybrid identity architectures. It concludes that specialized backups are essential for maintaining integrity, rollback capability, compliance, and operational stability of identity systems.
