A side-by-side editorial comparison of ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus and rvest — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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 Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

rvest grew a real browser, turning a static scraper into a dynamic one.
rvest is the tidyverse's HTML scraping package. The 1.0.0 line rebuilt table parsing to mimic how browsers actually read tables, and 1.0.4 added read_html_live(), which drives a headless browser so JavaScript-rendered pages can be scraped at all. 1.0.5 is consolidation on that newer path.

Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.
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.
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.

The package has split into two modes: fast static parsing for ordinary documents, and a live browser session for client-rendered ones. Recent effort concentrates on hardening the live path, where page navigation and interaction bugs surface that never existed in static parsing.
Expect further fixes and documentation around read_html_live() as more scraping targets move rendering to the client.
