    Restore Public Folder Data

    With AvePoint Cloud Backup, you can restore Public Folder backup data to its original location.

    Complete the steps below to restore Public Folder data:

    1. Navigate to the Restore > AvePoint Cloud Backup page, and then click the Public Folder tile.

    2. Select the data that you want to restore. You can choose one of the following methods to find the data to restore.

      • Search mode – Define a public folder as the search scope and then use the properties to search for the items within the folder. Refer to the steps below:

        1. In the Name field, enter or select a public folder. The default search condition is to search the backup data of that public folder within the last backup cycle.

        2. In the Backup time range field, the time range of the last backup cycle is displayed by default. Click the Calendar button to customize the backup time range. The start date must be earlier than the end date. You can click Reset if you want to reset the settings. Click OK to save your customization.

        3. Select Folder or Mailbox item from the Level list for the items you want to search. If you want to search for items within the selected public folder, select the Mailbox item option from the Level list, and you can configure the following search conditions: Subject, Sent from, Sent to, and Date sent.

        4. Click Search to search the items according to the conditions you configured. The search conditions and the search results are displayed. The search results table will display a maximum of 2000 items. You can edit the search conditions and click Search to adjust the search results.

        5. Find and select the item you want to restore from the search results. In the Recovery point column, click the Calendar button to select a backup job that backed up this item at the status that you want to restore, and click Apply. In the Metadata recovery point drop-down list, you can select a backup time that backs up the metadata to overwrite the current metadata with the backup data or select None to not overwrite the current metadata. Click the Restore button above the search result table to restore all selected items.

          *Note: The Public Folders metadata is only supported if you are still using service account authentication for auto discovery.

        6. Proceed to step 3 to continue with the Restore settings.

      • Calendar mode – Find a backup job that backed up the items at the time of the status you want to recover, and then search and select the items from the backup data of that backup job.

        1. In the calendar, all backup jobs of Public Folder are displayed. You can select whether to display the finished with an exception or failed jobs in the calendar by selecting the Include jobs with only partial backup data option. Note that the data of these jobs may be incomplete. Hover over a backup job to show the backup job details.

        2. Select a backup job. All backup data of Public Folder, up to a maximum of 2000 items, is displayed in the table. You can select the Show data from this backup only (historical data in this scope from previous backups not included) option to only show the data backed up in the selected backup job.

        3. You can enter keywords to search the items, or you can click the backup data to browse the items you want to restore.

        4. Select the items you want to restore and then click the Restore button above the table to restore all selected items.

          *Note: If you want to select multiple items to restore at the same time, you can only select the items at the same level.

        5. Proceed to step 3 to continue with the Restore settings.

    3. If necessary, you can enter a description for this restore job in the Description text box.

    4. Choose where to restore the backup data to. Public Folder data only can be restored to its original location. Select Restore the data to its original location option to restore the selected data to the original location.

    5. Select how to handle the conflicts in the restore job.

      *Note: If there are container conflicts in the Public Folder restore, the backup content in the source container will be merged to the conflicting destination container.

      • Select how to handle the content level conflicts:

        • Skip – The conflicting destination content will be retained in the destination, and the backup data of the conflicting content will not be restored.

        • Overwrite – The conflicting destination content will be removed from the destination, and the backup data of the conflicting content will be restored.

      • Select how to handle the permission conflicts:

        • Skip – The conflicting destination permission will remain unchanged.

        • Overwrite – The conflicting destination permission will be replaced by the permission in the backup.

    6. Turn on/off the switch to define whether to allow restore jobs to rehydrate the data sets automatically, when the backup data is stored in the Azure archive storage tier. This field is only functional for the BYOS subscription type. For AvePoint default storage, the restore job will automatically rehydrate data.

      *Note: AvePoint recommends not storing the index database in the Azure archive storage tier.

    8. Click Restore to restore the selected items.
