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.
◆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 (S3, region-specific Azure) and operational integrations (SIEM). Security hardening rides along with each cycle. This is a product actively growing its capability surface, not just maintaining it.
◆Prediction
Expect continued expansion of Entra ID and cloud-native backup coverage and more storage-target options, with security patches folded into each build.
