Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Restore EntraID to different Tenant

Hello Mogansundram,

No, that scenario is not supported today. Another Entra ID tenant does not allow the creation of objects with "foreign" domain addresses. Domain addresses (e.g., @veeam.com) are assigned to a single Entra ID tenant and cannot be used in different tenants.

Additionally, there are challenges related to the relationships between different objects. In the original tenant, we have the recycle bin, which allows us to recover objects using their original unique IDs. However, in new tenants or in the original tenant after 30 days post-deletion, we have to recreate the objects from scratch. Microsoft will assign new unique IDs for each object, and these IDs are stored in properties of different objects, such as group membership in a security group. In short, we cannot restore relationships between objects when we have different IDs. We would have to build a logic to replace original ids with new ids in a restore session.

May I ask why you want to restore to a different or new tenant? Is it for testing purposes or a migration use case?

Best regards,
Fabian
