5 Restoring Microsoft 365 Backup Set

Prior to performing the restoration, it is best to be knowledgeable on the options that CloudBacko Pro can offer. Below are brief descriptions of the said features for you to be familiar with and utilize each function. After this quick walkthrough you will see the step-by-step instructions with corresponding screen shots on how to restore your data using the following options below.

For Microsoft 365, you can restore items from:

Users

This is composed of data from Outlook, OneDrive, Personal Site and Teams Chat.

Teams

This is composed of data from Group Mail, Group Site and Teams Channel.

SharePoint Sites

This is composed of one Top-level site, List and Libraries and Subsites

Public Folders

This is composed of one Top-level site and Public Folders.

Those items can be restored to:

Original

Restore your data to the original Microsoft 365 account.

Alternate

Restore your data to an alternate location on the same Microsoft 365 domain. Alternate location depends on source of the items. It can be from Users, Teams, SharePoint Sites or Public Folders.

Example #1:

Restore Items from Users

Microsoft 365 Account: TestAccountABC@onecompany
Alternate Users: TestUserAccount01@onecompany
TestUserAccount02@onecompany
TestUserAccount03@onecompany
TestUserAccount04@onecompany
TestUserAccount05@onecompany

Explanation: For the example above, we have TestAccountABC@onecompany as our Microsoft 365 account. For the alternate user, a list will be available and from there you can choose from the following Microsoft 365 accounts:

  • TestUserAccount01@onecompany
  • TestUserAccount02@onecompany
  • TestUserAccount03@onecompany
  • TestUserAccount04@onecompany
  • TestUserAccount05@onecompany

Example #2:

Restore Items from Teams

Teams Group: SampleTeamsGroupAccountXYZ
Alternate Groups: SampleTeamsGroup01
SampleTeamsGroup02
SampleTeamsGroup03
SampleTeamsGroup04
SampleTeamsGroup05

Explanation: For the example above, we have SampleTeamsGroupAccountXYZ as our Teams group. For the alternate group, a list will be available and from there you can choose from the following Teams group:

  • SampleTeamsGroup01
  • SampleTeamsGroup02
  • SampleTeamsGroup03
  • SampleTeamsGroup04
  • SampleTeamsGroup05

Example #3:

Restore Items from SharePoint Sites

SharePoint Sites: blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/OriginalSite
Alternate Sites: blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/NewSite1
blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/NewSite2
blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/NewSite3
blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/NewSite4
blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/NewSite5

Explanation: For the example above, we have blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/OriginalSite as our site. For the alternate site, a list will be available and from there you can choose from the following SharePoint Sites:

  • blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/NewSite1
  • blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/NewSite2
  • blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/NewSite3
  • blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/NewSite4
  • blackbox.sharepoint.com/sites/NewSite5

Alternate Microsoft 365 organization

You can restore your data to an alternate Microsoft 365 organization that has a different domain.

Example:

Original Microsoft 365 Account: TestAccountABC@onecompany
Alternate Microsoft 365 Account: SampleAccountXYZ@twosquaretower

Explanation: As you can see on the above example, we have two (2) Microsoft 365 accounts with different domain. The Original Microsoft 365 account is what we used as the source of our backup and can also use as the original location for restoration. For the alternate Microsoft 365 account, we need to use another Microsoft 365 account that has a different domain.

Local Computer

Restore your data as an archive file to your local computer where the CloudBacko Pro is running. Data will be exported in the following format:

  • MS Teams Chat/Channel will be exported as HTML
  • Emails will be exported as PST
  • SharePoint Sites will be exported as CSV

OneDrive of Original Microsoft 365 organization

Restore your data as an archive file to the OneDrive of a user on the same Microsoft 365 domain. Data will be exported in the same format as in local computer.

OneDrive of Alternate Microsoft 365 organization

Restore your data as an archive file to the OneDrive of a user on a different Microsoft 365 domain. Data will be exported in the same format as in local computer.

To restore items, follow the steps below:

  1. Open CloudBacko Pro backup software.

  2. Click the Restore icon on the main interface of CloudBacko Pro.

  3. Select the backup set that you would like to restore.

  4. Select the backup destination that you would like to restore backed up items from. In our screenshot below, we have two (23) options namely, GoogleDrive-1 and Local-1.

Note: Choices for data to be restored will depend on the data that was backed up. Only one type of data can be restored at a time, e.g. if you choose to restore Users and Teams you can restore Users first then after the restore process, do the restore for Teams next.
