Due to Google API limitations, you may encounter the following cases when you restore calendars with events.

After the restoration, the replies of guests in groups cannot be kept.
After the restore, the non-Google external users cannot view the restored events in their calendars.
A guest’s response to an event is Yes, in a meeting room or Yes, joining virtually. After the restore, the response status will be updated to Yes.
You select the backup data of a guest in an event to Restore the data to another location. After the restoration, the other guests of the event will not be restored in the destination event.
An event was deleted from the organizer’s calendar. You select a guest’s backup data to Restore the data to its original location. After the restore, only the selected guest can view the restored event.
An event was deleted from a guest’s calendar. You select this guest’s backup data to Restore the data to its original location. After the restore, the organizer’s updates on the event can be synced to the restored event, but the guest’s reply to the event cannot be synced to the organizer’s calendar.
A guest has the Modify event permission to an existing event in the calendar. You select the guest’s backup data to Restore the data to its original location with the Merge conflict resolution. After the restore, the backup data will not be merged with the existing event.

Backed up a calendar with recurring events. The deletion of a recurring event was applied to This event or All events on the calendar. You select the calendar backup data (contains the recurring events) to Restore the data to its original location. After the restore, the deleted events will not be restored to the calendar.
The updates (any update except for the time) of a recurring event were applied to This event or This and following events. The updated events haven’t been backed up. You perform a restore job to Restore the data to its original location with the Merge conflict resolution. After the restore, the updated events will not be merged with the backup data.
The updates (any update except for the time) of a recurring event were applied to This and following events, and then the updated events have been backed up. Delete the following events, and then select the backup data to Restore the data to its original location. After the restore, the restored events will not be associated with the original recurring event.
A recurring event was updated (any update except for the time) multiple times and the edits were applied to This and following events. Perform a restore job for an updated event to Restore the data to another location. After the restore, the restored event cannot keep the guests’ original response statuses in the destination.
