Restore Entra ID data to a different tenant

The cross-tenant restore allows you to recover Entra ID objects into a different tenant while automatically maintaining object relationships and dependencies.

If your primary Entra ID tenant becomes inaccessible—due to misconfiguration, cyber incidents, or other disruptions—restoring identities, policies, and access settings manually can be complex and time-consuming. Cross-tenant restore allows you to quickly recover Entra ID data into a secondary tenant that mirrors your primary environment.​
