Export to PDFAvePoint Cloud Backup
AvePoint Cloud Backup helps you quickly restore and recover your data from Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Microsoft 365 Groups, Teams, Project Online, Public Folders, and Viva Engage. You can restore the backup data to its original location or restore data to a different location. If you have a BYOS subscription, you can restore backup data to a custom storage location. After you have started the restore job, you can use Job Monitor to monitor the job progress and download the job report. You can also stop a running restore job as needed.
*Note: If a top-level object (site collection, mailbox, or group/teams) has been deleted in Microsoft 365, you cannot restore the objects within the deleted top-level object individually. Instead, you must first restore their top-level nodes or manually create the top-level node in Microsoft 365 before you perform an in-place restore of the lower-level nodes.
If you want to restore items to another location, you may also need to map the domains, users, or languages to update the permissions and metadata in the restore destination. For detailed instructions, refer to Configure Mapping Settings.
You can find the data you want to restore through the Search mode or the Calendar mode. For the granular restore, the Search mode is better. You can also use the Search mode if you know some specific properties of the data you are looking for or want to restore deleted objects. To roll back your Microsoft 365 data to a specific snapshot or find the data by browsing the file structure, the Calendar mode will be helpful.
The Search mode restore wizard for SharePoint Online service allows you to search across all the sites being protected by Cloud Backup and the Exchange Online service Search mode restore wizard allows you to search across all the mailboxes being protected by Cloud Backup.
When restoring Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, or OneDrive data in the Calendar mode, you can now select and add items to the Restore queue, and then restore them together in a single job.
For detailed instructions on using the Restore wizard in each service, refer to:
