# Recovering teams

## Overview

When restoring repositories, one type of metadata that can be restored is **teams**. **Xopero ONE** ensures that **teams** and their associated users are reinstated.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This process may include sending invitations for users to rejoin the organization.
{% endhint %}

Before starting the restoration process, a prompt will inform you of this action—accepting the prompt will restore **teams** and send invitations as needed. Canceling the prompt will exclude **teams** from the restoration process.

## Limitations

The maximum number of external collaborators that can be restored for a single repository in one operation is limited to **50**. This restriction is due to **GitHub** **API** limitations, which define how many collaborators can be processed in a single batch. This constraint is independent of **Xopero ONE** and cannot be bypassed by the backup solution.
