Browsing and Restoring Gmail and Google Drive Data Based on Backup Time
You can browse the Gmail and Google Drive data either from the most recent backup or from a previous point in time.
-
You can restore from the latest backups to keep your content on a secondary storage, such as tape, for long-term storage. However, you must identify the corresponding media, and make sure that it is available for the recovery operation.
-
You can restore from the data backed up on a specific date to restore to a point in time before the content became unusable.
-
You can restore from the data backed for a date range if your content for that range was deleted accidentally.
Restore Destinations
The destination where you restore data is determined by your restore objective. Generally, you perform an in-place or an out-of-place restore.
In-place restore
When you restore a mailbox or a file in place, you restore it to the same path on the same client from which the mailbox or the file was backed up.
Out-of-place restore
When you restore a mailbox or a file out of place, you can restore it to a physical disk attached to a Cloud Apps-installed client.
