Consistent backup #38

Closed Karthik-Ra0 closed 1 year ago

Karthik-Ra0 commented 1 year ago

Firstly, would like to say this is not really an issue with the exporter.

I am looking into building a product that takes periodical backups of the data from the Azure Active Directory. Is there a way we can take a consistent backup of the entire Azure Active Directory i.e a backup with the logical relationships snapshotted consistently at a point in time. The graph APIs only provides a way to get Users, groups, roles in separate Rest API calls which could lead to some inconsistency. Or is there a way to put the active directory in a maintenance mode for the period of the backup to not take any write requests ?

Sorry, unfortunately the Graph API is the best we have at the moment.
