# Restoring a GitLab Repository Group to a Different App (Out of Place)

You can restore a GitLab repository group to a different cloud app (out of place).

Caution

All repository data in the destination location is overwritten by the restored data.

Review the following considerations for out-of-place restores:

- If the repository is present, then the name, description, and visibility are not modified.

- If the repository is not present, a new repository is created with the same name, description, and visibility as the source repository.

   The Overview page appears.

2. Click the DevOps tab.

3. On the GitLab tab, click the GitLab app.
