When you'll need this

Real scenarios where Backup Okta saves the day

Accidental Deletion

A group with 500 members gets deleted. User assignments to 20 apps gone. With Backup Okta, restore in minutes instead of hours of manual recreation.

Bad Policy Change

A MFA policy update locks out all users. Diff detection shows exactly what changed. Restore the previous policy instantly.

Security Incident

Compromised admin creates rogue apps and modifies policies. Identify all changes with drift detection, then restore to a known-good state.

Compliance Audit

Auditor asks "what changed in the last 90 days?" Your daily backups provide a complete change history with before/after snapshots.

Workflow Disaster

Someone deletes a critical workflow folder with 50 flows. Workflows have no native backup. Restore the entire folder from your flopack backup.

Sandbox Sync

Need to replicate production config to a test org? Export your backup and use it to understand differences or seed a new environment.

Frequently asked questions

Does Okta have native backup?

No. Okta operates under a shared responsibility model and does not provide built-in backup or restore capabilities. You're responsible for protecting your configuration.

What happens if you go away?

Your backups are stored in your Apify account in standard JSON and ZIP formats. Even if Backup Okta disappeared, you'd still have all your data with no vendor lock-in.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Everything runs in your Apify account. We never see your credentials, backups, or Okta data. Apify is SOC2 Type II certified with encryption at rest and in transit.

Can I backup Okta Workflows?

Yes. We're one of the few tools that can backup Workflows including flow definitions, folder structure, and table data. Exports use Okta's native flopack format.

How long does a backup take?

Depends on org size. Small orgs (under 500 users): 1-3 minutes. Medium (500-5K): 3-10 minutes. Large (5K-50K): 10-30 minutes. Enterprise (50K+): 30-60+ minutes.

Can I restore to a different org?

Yes, with caveats. Backups use name-based matching (not IDs) so they're portable. However, some resources may need adjustment for org-specific settings.

What about user passwords?

Passwords, MFA enrollments, and session data cannot be backed up or restored via any API. Users will need to reset credentials after a full restore.

Do you support Okta CIC (Auth0)?

Currently we support Okta Workforce Identity Cloud (WIC) only. CIC/Auth0 support may be added in the future.
