Microsoft protectsthe platform.Not your data.
Microsoft 365 does not include a backup. Anything deleted, overwritten or encrypted is gone for good once the retention period runs out. Conbool captures mailboxes and online archives, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams channels, private chats, Planner and Entra ID on a schedule and brings back individual items.
Why the built in tools are not enough
Four cases where Microsoft 365 cannot give the data back.
Shared responsibility
Microsoft runs the platform and keeps it available. The content is yours to protect. That is written into the terms and is the model, not an oversight.
The recycle bin is a deadline
Deleted items stay recoverable for a limited time. After that Microsoft removes them for good. Anyone who notices the loss later has no source left.
Retention policies do not work backwards
A policy protects from the day it applies. It does not bring back what was deleted before, and a badly configured policy usually surfaces only in an emergency.
A compromised account deletes with your permissions
An intruder acts with valid rights. To the platform that looks like normal operation, which is exactly why nothing there stops it.
Every run is kept as its own state and does not overwrite the previous one.
Eight sources, one run.
Mailbox and online archive, personal storage, team sites including their lists, channels, chat histories, plans and the directory are captured in the same schedule. No second tool, no second sign-in, one overview of every run.
New users are picked up automatically
Failed runs are visible immediately
Retention configurable per source
Operated separately from the Microsoft environment
How the backup runs
Connect once, then it takes care of itself.
1. Connect
You approve a Microsoft 365 application once. Nothing is installed on workstations and nothing changes inside your tenant.
2. Capture on a schedule
Mailboxes, online archives, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams channels, private chats, Planner and Entra ID are captured on schedule. Every run is kept as a state of its own, failures are visible in the overview.
3. Bring back what is missing
One message, one file, one folder. You pick the state and the item instead of rolling back an entire mailbox.
What sets it apart
Six points that matter when it counts.
Eight sources, one schedule
Exchange Online, the online archive, OneDrive, SharePoint with its lists, Teams channels, private chats, Planner and Entra ID run in the same control surface, not in eight separate tools.
Individual items, not full rollback
If one message is missing, one message comes back. Nobody has to overwrite an entire mailbox and risk newer content.
Free choice of state
Every run is preserved on its own. You decide which point in time to restore from.
Operated outside Azure
If the backup sits in the same cloud as the original, one incident hits both at once. Conbool runs it separately.
Stored in Germany
Operated and stored in German data centres, GDPR data processing agreement, contracted directly with a German provider.
Roles and audit trail
Roles decide who may restore. Every restore is logged and stays traceable.
With and without your own backup
What is possible in either case.
With Conbool | Microsoft 365 only | |
|---|---|---|
| Restore an item after the retention window closes | yes | no |
| Restore a single message | yes | only within the window |
| Backup independent of the Microsoft platform | yes | no |
| Set the retention period yourself | yes | bound by policy |
| Storage location Germany guaranteed | yes | depends on region |
Statements about Microsoft 365 follow its publicly documented retention and recovery features. The policies configured in your own tenant apply.
