To select the backup data that you want to recover, you can choose Search mode or Calendar mode:
- **Search mode** – In this mode, you can choose the **Selected items** method, configure search conditions based on the properties of the objects that you want to recover, and then select your desired backup data from the search results to perform a data recovery.
In the **Search mode**, you can also choose the **Full account** method to restore Gmail, Drive, Calendar, or Contacts backup data at the service-level for a specific Google user. For details, refer to [Restore Gmail, Drive, Calendar, or Contacts Data for a User](#missing-link).
- **Calendar mode** – In this mode, you can browse backup jobs via a calendar view, and then select your desired recovery points to drill down to the specific objects that you want to recover.
In the **Calendar mode**, Administrators can add a large number of top-level objects into a restore queue to perform a bulk restore. For details, refer to [Bulk Restore for Gmail, Drive, Calendar, or Contacts](#missing-link) and [Bulk Restore for Shared Drives](#missing-link).
