In Office 365, you can perform both in-place restore operation and out-of-place restore operation.
To perform an in-place restore operation, you can restore sites and its subsites, lists, and libraries to the same path on the same client from where they were backed up.
To perform an out-of-place restore operation, you can restore sites and its subsites, lists, and libraries to a different path from where they were backed up.
Before You Begin
-
For an in-place restore operation, manually create the destination top-level site with the same name and the same template.
-
For an out-of-place restore operation, manually create the destination top-level site with a different name and the same template.
Procedure
-
From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > client > SharePoint Server > Office 365.
-
Right-click the subclient, and then click Browse and Restore.
The Browse and Restore Options dialog box appears.
-
Click View Content.
-
Select the items that you want to restore, and then click Recover All Selected.
The Restore Options for All Selected Items dialog box appears.
-
Depending on the type of restore operation you are performing, complete one of the following tasks:
-
To run an in-place restore operation, select the Restore to same folder check box.
-
To run an out-of-place restore operation, verify that the Restore to same folder check box is not selected. Click Browse to select the destination folder.
-
-
To overwrite the existing data at the destination with the data that is getting restored, select Unconditional Overwrite.
-
Click OK.
Notes
-
You cannot restore page customizations (web parts).
-
During a restore operation of multiple related sites, the top-most selected site in the source hierarchy is restored to the destination site. The rest subsites are restored in the same hierarchical order as it was in the source site.
-
Any missing subsites are created automatically under the destination top-level site during the restore operation.
-
If you are restoring the sites to the root, then select the root folder (/) as the destination. If you are restoring to a subsite, then select a subsite folder as the destination.
-
For an Office 365 subsite out-of-place restore operation, manually create the subsite with the same template at the destination site. If you select the root folder (/) or any other subsite, the existing subsite is overwritten.
