You can restore Microsoft 365 sites either to the same source client or to a new destination client.
Notes
-
During an out-of-place restore operation of multiple related sites, the top-most selected site in the source hierarchy is restored to the destination site. The remaining subsites are restored in the same hierarchical order as seen in the source.
-
You cannot browse and restore the deleted items.
-
You cannot select multiple sites for a single restore operation.
Before You Begin
If you are restoring a deleted site, you must manually create the destination top-level site before performing the restore operation. Deleted subsites are automatically created under the destination top-level site during the restore operation.
