Azure Active Directory backup

Hi  Do one need to consider external backup solution of AAD when having multiple tenants? - can't seem to find any regarding this "topic" in the CAF ?

Indeed. I would also recommend to secure your Azure AD Tenant using P2 together with PIM and Least Privilege. Also go in Governance in General for Azure and Microsoft 365 Services.

I read was has been stated 🙂

What about backup/restoring of Service Principals, AAD Security groups etc...and from a MSP point of view?

    You will have to rely on the different bins (30 days for security Groups and App Registrations).
    Microsoft is slowly adding bin / restoration of deleted items but this is not backup. Governance will be the key.

      Hi thijoubertold - Service principals are they "restoreable" through the bin?
