What is ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus?

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

What is nanoparquet?

nanoparquet is chasing byte-level agreement with the Java and Rust Parquet readers, not feature count.

nanoparquet reads and writes Parquet from R with no Arrow dependency, which is its entire reason to exist. The 0.4.0 line renamed the reader API and added schema authoring plus `append_parquet()`, and the 0.5.x releases have gone after interoperability: definition and repetition level encodings the Apache Parquet Java library expects, flatbuffer alignment the Rust arrow-rs reader expects, 128-bit decimals, and Polars-written files that omit the dictionary page offset. The newest release adds `bit64::integer64` columns and writing to stdout.

ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus vs nanoparquet: editorial side-by-side

M2.5

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

◆ Current state

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is coverage expansion: methodically extending what can be backed up and restored across on-prem AD and Entra ID, while broadening cloud storage targets and operational integrations. The dependence on Microsoft's own PowerShell modules is the cost of that coverage, and 6322 shows where it bites — a stale module on the customer's side takes the product down mid-enumeration. Feature builds and pure-fix builds alternate at roughly a two-month cadence, so a single-issue build reads as a gap between feature cycles rather than a slowdown.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued expansion of Entra ID and cloud-native backup coverage and more storage-target options, with security patches folded into each build; the next build carrying a Features section is due on the cadence this feed has held.

nanoparquet is chasing byte-level agreement with the Java and Rust Parquet readers, not feature count.

◆ Current state

nanoparquet reads and writes Parquet from R with no Arrow dependency, which is its entire reason to exist. The 0.4.0 line renamed the reader API and added schema authoring plus `append_parquet()`, and the 0.5.x releases have gone after interoperability: definition and repetition level encodings the Apache Parquet Java library expects, flatbuffer alignment the Rust arrow-rs reader expects, 128-bit decimals, and Polars-written files that omit the dictionary page offset. The newest release adds `bit64::integer64` columns and writing to stdout.

◆ Where it's heading

Almost every entry since 0.4.0 names another engine — Java, arrow-rs, Polars, Arrow schema metadata — which tells you the maintainers are treating cross-reader fidelity as the product rather than R-side ergonomics. The type system is filling in from the edges: DECIMAL beyond 8 bytes, UUID, FLOAT16 and INTERVAL as raw lists, and now 64-bit integers with an explicit read-type option instead of a silent cast to double. Writing to `:stdout:` points at a second audience, shell pipelines rather than interactive R.

◆ Prediction

The remaining unmapped Parquet types the changelog has been parking in raw-vector lists — FLOAT16 and INTERVAL — are the obvious next targets, following the same pattern by which DECIMAL and UUID graduated to real R types.
