    Restore Admin Portal Settings

    To restore the admin portal settings, note the following:

    - For the settings that can be restored, refer to [Admin Portal Settings](#missing-link). - If a setting includes encrypted data or files, the encrypted data and files cannot be restored. You can export the backup data to check the setting. - If the state of a conditional access policy is On, the restore job will change it to Off, which will be alerted in the job report comment, as well as in the Dry run report.

    Follow the steps below to restore the admin portal settings:

    1. Go to the Restore page and click the Admin Portal Settings tile.

    2. In the Restore wizard, a calendar displays all the data recovery points. You choose whether to display the finished with the exception jobs in the calendar by selecting the Include jobs with only partial backup data option.

    3. Hover over the data recovery point to view the job details, including the job status, job start time, scope name, scope ID, job ID, backup size, and the number of objects in a backup.

    4. Click the data recovery point that you want to use in the calendar.

    5. You can use the following filters to update the view of the backup data:

      • Use the module filter to find the settings for Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft 365 Defender, Intune, or Exchange.

      • Select the Only show the settings that can be restored option to filter the backup data for restore.

      • If you want to include the backup data for the PowerShell rules for restore or export, select the Include rules created by PowerShell option above the table.

      • Manage the columns to adjust the view of settings.

    6. Select the settings that you want to restore and then click the Restore button.

    7. In the Restore options step, you can choose to run a restore directly or perform a Dry run first to review the affected settings in the report.

    8. Select Merge, Overwrite, or Skip as the conflict resolution.

      *Note: If a conflict occurs, Merge is to add the backup data to the destination for the properties that support adding new items. The existing properties with unique values will be replaced with the backup data. For example, the protection settings of Safe links policy that are configured via checkbox field type will be overwritten by the backup data after being restored. Overwrite is to remove the conflicting object from the destination and restore the backup data. Skip is to skip the restore of the backup data and keep the destination object intact.

    9. You can enter a description for this restore job for further reference.

    10. Click Restore to run the restore job.
