Multi-app functionality enables Keepit to leverage multiple app registrations within your Entra tenant, optimizing backup processes for Teams Chats.

Аs part of the multi-app setup process, an Administrator with Application Administrator or Global Administrator permissions must initially create an app registration through the Microsoft Entra admin center. 

Once created, you can connect this app registration to Keepit to begin backing up your Teams Chats data.

Note: We recommend backing up Teams Chats in a separate connector from other data areas.
