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

Tip: Before performing a restore, you may want to see all the attributes that exist for a conditional access policy. 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 Policy Attributes & Restore Specific Versions.

Restore All or Specific Policies

To restore one or more conditional access policies 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 Policies in the top navigation. A page with a list of all the conditional access Policies 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 Policies you want to restore. 
    Tip: Type any part of a Policy'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 Policies to restore:
    • To select all Policies: Check the box in the header row of the table to select all Policies in the Entra ID Tenant. 
    • To select specific Policies: Check the box next to each Policy's name.
  6. Click Restore Selected.
  7. In the “Restore Data” pop-up window: 
    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 Policy Attributes & Restore Specific Versions

Before performing a restore, it can be helpful to see all the attributes that exist for a conditional access policy. 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 Policies.
  2. Click a Policy'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. When you find the version you want to restore, click Restore This Version. 

Tip: You can select any day and time from the calendar to view the Policies at 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.

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