Frequently asked questions

Does Veeam use zero-knowledge by default?

No. Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 uses Veeam-managed encryption keys by default. Bring-your-own-key (BYOK) is an opt-in Azure Key Vault setup documented in the Veeam Help Center.

Is GTools.pro cheaper than Veeam?

At list price, GTools.pro Backup is EUR 14/month flat per administrator. Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is USD 2.63–7 per Microsoft 365 user per month. For a 50-user tenant, GTools.pro is roughly USD 130–340/month cheaper at list.

Does GTools.pro back up Teams chat the same way Veeam does?

Yes. Both cover Teams chat, channel messages, OneDrive, SharePoint and Exchange. The Microsoft 365 Backup (native) product does not include Teams chat.

Can I migrate from Veeam to GTools.pro?

Yes. GTools.pro Backup ingests new backups directly from Microsoft 365; existing Veeam backups remain readable in Veeam. No format conversion is required because the operator runs both.

Where is GTools.pro backup data stored?

On Desktop the destination is whatever the operator points it at — local disk, SMB share or S3 bucket. On Cloud, ciphertext is stored in a customer-chosen region.

About the platform

This is a zero-knowledge toolkit. It helps IT admins, MSPs, security teams run their cloud safer. Use it inside a browser. Or install our Mac or Windows app.

Tenant secrets stay on your disk. We never store, log, or read them. Our server only sees billing metadata.

How it works

  1. You unlock a local vault with a passphrase. Argon2id stretches it.
  2. Tokens get sealed with XChaCha20-Poly1305 before any sync.
  3. X25519 protects shared keys. Ed25519 signs every action.
  4. Each operation runs against Graph from your device, not ours.
