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 Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.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

Model stacking in tidymodels, quietly migrating off foreach and onto future

stacks builds ensembles from tidymodels tuning results, and its release history is dominated by one long project: replacing foreach-based parallelism with the future framework. That transition completed in 1.1.0, where foreach backends began being ignored with a warning and the minimum R version rose to 4.1. Releases are infrequent and small, with the most recent being a CRAN re-submission rather than a change.

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 Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.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

Model stacking in tidymodels, quietly migrating off foreach and onto future

◆ Current state

stacks builds ensembles from tidymodels tuning results, and its release history is dominated by one long project: replacing foreach-based parallelism with the future framework. That transition completed in 1.1.0, where foreach backends began being ignored with a warning and the minimum R version rose to 4.1. Releases are infrequent and small, with the most recent being a CRAN re-submission rather than a change.

◆ Where it's heading

The package is mature and its remaining work is compatibility rather than capability — tracking the parallelism story across tidymodels, keeping object sizes sane after butchering and reloading, and staying aligned with recipes deprecations. The augment() method added for vetiver compatibility shows the same instinct: fit into the surrounding ecosystem rather than grow independently of it. Nothing in the visible history suggests new ensembling methods are being pursued.

◆ Prediction

With the future migration finished, the next release is most likely maintenance keeping pace with tune and recipes rather than anything users would notice.
