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 Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.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 rstudiothemes?

rstudiothemes went from RStudio-only to converting themes across RStudio, VS Code and Positron in four months

rstudiothemes converts editor colour themes between formats and bundles a set of ready-made ones. It appeared in February 2026 as a working prototype tied to a specific RStudio build, reached CRAN in March, and by April had conversion functions and bundled themes for Visual Studio Code and Positron alongside RStudio. Five releases in five months.

ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus vs rstudiothemes: 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 Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.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.

rstudiothemes went from RStudio-only to converting themes across RStudio, VS Code and Positron in four months

◆ Current state

rstudiothemes converts editor colour themes between formats and bundles a set of ready-made ones. It appeared in February 2026 as a working prototype tied to a specific RStudio build, reached CRAN in March, and by April had conversion functions and bundled themes for Visual Studio Code and Positron alongside RStudio. Five releases in five months.

◆ Where it's heading

The package is broadening from one editor to the three that share a lineage, and pushing conversion out of R entirely — 1.1.0 shipped a hosted Shiny app for online theme conversion, so the package is no longer the only way to use it. Recent releases have narrowed to output-format details and documentation, including a Codex-assisted refactor in 1.1.2 matching the maintainer's sweep across other packages.

◆ Prediction

With the three-editor set covered and a hosted converter live, the next additions are more likely bundled themes than new formats. The entries do not indicate plans for editors outside the RStudio/VS Code/Positron family.
