What is ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus?

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

What is mlr3cluster?

mlr3cluster went from a handful of clusterers to covering the field

mlr3cluster supplies clustering learners to the mlr3 framework. Over three releases it added roughly a dozen learners — CLARA, k-prototypes, spectral, then a batch of nine covering finite mixtures, spherical and directional families, self-organising maps, spatio-temporal DBSCAN and robust trimmed clustering. The newest release fixes predict-time behaviour across the hierarchical learners.

ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus vs mlr3cluster: editorial side-by-side

M2.5

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

◆ Current state

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is coverage expansion: methodically extending what can be backed up and restored across on-prem AD and Entra ID, while broadening cloud storage targets and operational integrations. The dependence on Microsoft's own PowerShell modules is the cost of that coverage, and 6322 shows where it bites — a stale module on the customer's side takes the product down mid-enumeration. Feature builds and pure-fix builds alternate at roughly a two-month cadence, so a single-issue build reads as a gap between feature cycles rather than a slowdown.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued expansion of Entra ID and cloud-native backup coverage and more storage-target options, with security patches folded into each build; the next build carrying a Features section is due on the cadence this feed has held.

mlr3cluster went from a handful of clusterers to covering the field

◆ Current state

mlr3cluster supplies clustering learners to the mlr3 framework. Over three releases it added roughly a dozen learners — CLARA, k-prototypes, spectral, then a batch of nine covering finite mixtures, spherical and directional families, self-organising maps, spatio-temporal DBSCAN and robust trimmed clustering. The newest release fixes predict-time behaviour across the hierarchical learners.

◆ Where it's heading

The package is at the tail end of a coverage push, and the emphasis has shifted from adding algorithms to making the ones it has behave correctly at prediction time — cutting trees at the current k, reclustering coresets, failing informatively on unsupported metric combinations. That is the normal sequence after a rapid expansion.

◆ Prediction

Expect further predict-path corrections and parameter-set alignment across the newly added learners before any more algorithms arrive.
