To restore Applications from an Entra ID backup, follow the steps described in this document. 

Tip: Before performing a restore, you may want to see an Application's attributes. You may also find it useful to compare object versions among different dates, then select which version to restore. If this is the case, see View Application Attributes & Restore Specific Versions.

To restore one or more Applications from the latest Entra ID backup, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Syncro Tenant's Details Page. 
2. In the Cloud Backups section, locate the row for "Entra ID” in the Service column, then click Restore:
   
   The Cloud Backup for Entra ID Dashboard displays:
   
3. Select Applications > App Registrations (shown below) or Applications > Enterprise Applications in the top navigation. A page with a list of all the Applications backed up from the Entra ID Tenant opens:
   
   Note: The latest version from backup is always displayed in the table by default. 
4. Locate the Applications you want to restore. 
   Tip: Type any part of an Application's Name or ID into the Search box to narrow the list. You can also sort by clicking any of the column headers.
5. Select the Applications to restore:
   • To select all Applications: Check the box in the header row of the table to select all Applications in the Entra ID Tenant. 
   • To select specific Applications: Check the box next to each Application's name.
6. Click Restore Selected.

   1. Use the calendar picker to select a snapshot date and time.
   2. Check the boxes for your desired restore options.
8. Once you have selected the options, click Restore.

View Application Attributes & Restore Specific Versions

Before performing a restore, it can be helpful to see all the attributes that exist for an Application. Sometimes it may also be helpful to view and compare the object versions among different dates.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Follow steps 1-3 as described in Restore All or Specific Applications.
2. Click an Application's name to display more details about it
   
3. Click the arrows to browse the different time points/version dates for the object. The version at the selected time point is always displayed. Red font indicates a changed value for that attribute.
4. If you already know which date's version you want to restore, click Restore This Version. 
5. Otherwise click the “View Memberships” or “View Role Assignments” links (for Enterprise Applications Only): 
   • View Memberships: Displays the users or user groups that have been assigned for the Application.
   • View Role Assignments: Displays the Admin roles that have been assigned for the Application. 
6. When you find the version you want to restore, click Restore This Version. 

Tips:

• You can select any day and time from the calendar to view the Members/Role Assignments of the selected time point. From there you can detect the timing of the changes, which will help you to choose the correct version date & time from the calendar.
• Changes to a List are recorded in the corresponding Log. (For example, changes to the Members List are recorded in the Members Log.) 
• If a List is empty, there were no Members/Role Assignments at the selected time. 

7. Click Restore This Version to start the restoration (or, click outside the window to close it).
