{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Next, select the backup plan from which you want to restore data. Click **View available plans** and choose one of the plans from the list.

Choose the backup version from all the backups that have already been performed — select the desired date and click the **Restore** button.

In the next aside, choose whether to restore your entire mailbox or only the selected emails:

#### A. Restore to a Microsoft 365 account.
Select restore directory using one of the available options:
1. **New directory** — creates a new directory containing all the restored data.
2. **Original directory** — restores the data to its original location (you can also choose to overwrite existing **OneDrive** files; the option to create a copy of overwritten **OneDrive** data is currently unavailable).
In **Restore directory**, you can also limit bandwidth usage by setting a maximum speed and choose the **default worker** (device used to restore the data).
#### B. Restore to a device
1. Choose the device that will serve as the restore destination.
2. In the next aside, select the exact destination path for your files, then click **Apply**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://helpcenter.xopero.com/xopero-one-en/backup-and-recovery/microsoft-365/recovery/email-recovery.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
