Notes for Events Restore

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

Guest Cases

- 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.

Recurring Event Cases

- 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.
