Learn how to restore SharePoint sites from a backup.
Xopero ONE allows you to recover SharePoint data from available backup points and restore it to the original location or another selected destination. The recovery process helps restore entire sites after accidental deletion, unwanted changes, or other data-loss scenarios while preserving their structure, documents, lists, and associated data.
The below steps demonstrate how to restore SharePoint sites and their metadata using Xopero ONE Management Service.
Open the Microsoft 365 tab, then click the Explore button next to the organization whose backup you want to restore.
In the SharePoint Sites tab, search for the site whose data you want to restore, and then click the restore button in the action menu for that site.
Next, select the backup plan from which you want to restore data. Click View available plans, and then select a plan 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.
Select the restore destination and click Next.
In the next pane, select the data you want to restore, and then click Restore selected. Alternatively, click Restore all to restore all available data.
Next, depending on the selected restore destination, configure the Restore to and Restore directory settings.
In the Overwrite data section, choose one of the following options:
Don't overwrite site and its data.
In Restore settings, you can limit bandwidth usage and select the default backup agent (worker) that will be used to restore the data (where applicable).
After defining all parameters, click the Restore button to start the recovery process. You can monitor the process in the Tasks tab.
Overwrite only if existing resources are older than restored.
Always overwrite.
In the Site permissions section, specify whether Xopero ONE should restore site permissions along with other site data.
In the Restore to pane, select the site where you want to restore the data, and click Save.
