A side-by-side editorial comparison of ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus and svines — 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 Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

Stationary vine copulas for time series, released in lockstep with the rest of Nagler's vine stack.
svines fits stationary vine copula models to multivariate time series, extending the rvinecopulib engine with the serial dependence structure that makes vines usable for temporal data. The visible history is three releases carrying one real addition — pseudo-residual computation and logLik support at 0.2.2 — with the rest tracking its C++ dependency.

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.

This package moves when rvinecopulib moves. The 0.2.4 release exists solely to adapt to a new rvinecopulib version, and 0.2.7 carries auto-generated GitHub release notes with no description at all. It shipped on the same day as kde1d 1.1.1, another package from the same maintainer, which is the pattern to watch: changes in the shared C++ layer surface as near-simultaneous releases across the vine family rather than as independent work.
The next release most plausibly follows another rvinecopulib update rather than adding modelling capability. Two of the three visible entries carry no substantive notes, so this feed will keep underreporting what changed.
