You can restore Office 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.
