General Updates

  • You can now use your own SFTP or FTP storage for backups of Microsoft Entra ID, Admin Portal Settings, and Azure AD B2C. Configure secure connections to local or hosted file shares for full control and compliance.
  • A new built-in group, Read-only users, has been introduced. All invited support account users will automatically be assigned to this group, which provides restricted, view-only access.
  • Microsoft Entra ID backup now supports up to four incremental jobs per day. Configure your schedule for more recovery points and meet demanding SLAs without manual effort.
