Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS now supports backup and recovery for Entra External ID and Amazon S3:
- Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS now supports protecting Entra External ID, enabling automated backup and granular recovery of customer-facing identity configurations and user data. As Microsoft transitions from Azure AD B2C to Entra External ID, this feature provides a critical safety net during and after migration, helping ensure configurations remain protected and recoverable.
- Protect Amazon S3 data with automated discovery, immutable backups, and granular recovery options for S3 buckets to help ensure business continuity and protect critical AWS data.

When configuring the backup scope for VMware, you can now exclude specific virtual disks (VMDKs) from backup jobs to reduce cloud storage costs and meet strict legal compliance requirements.

The Microsoft Entra ID service has been enhanced to support Entra ID Express backup, enabling lightning-fast protection of directory objects.

Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS now supports adding Okta users and groups, and Google users and groups in Settings > User Management to grant permissions.
