Questions

Datto SaaS Protection vs Tenvara: FAQ

Yes. Tenvara backs up Teams channel messages and each team's site. Channel messages use Microsoft's protected Teams API, which you request access to once for your app.

In your Tenvara backup storage, a folder on your backup server or S3-compatible storage, encrypted and kept per customer.

From every hour to once a day per tenant, every 12 hours by default. Only changes since the last run are fetched, so frequent runs stay small.

Once. Microsoft 365 backup and management share one app registration, so one admin consent link or GDAP connection covers both.
