Restore SharePoint/OneDrive/Teams Sites and data
You can restore various components, including site collections, sub-sites, lists, folders, items, and different versions of items. You can restore these components to the same location or another location.
Veritas Alta SaaS Protection restores the customizations that are made within site collections, sub-sites, list settings, columns, and content types. Veritas Alta SaaS Protection also restores permissions associated with these components.
See Supported and unsupported SharePoint Settings and Types for backup and restore.
If a sub-site or list is missing at the destination where you want to restore the data, the structure of the missing sub-site or list gets created, and data gets restored within it.
You also have the option to restore the entire site collection to a new URL if needed; this can be useful for migrating or recovering data to a different location.
You can also download the items to the required location.
See Downloading an item.
To restore SharePoint/OneDrive/Teams Sites and data
- Access the Administration portal.
- On the left, click Content.
- On the Content page, do the following:
From the upper-left drop-down list, select the Stor that holds the data that is to be restored.
From the drop-down list, which is next to the selected Stor, do one of the following:
Select All content to display all items.
Select a policy or Discovery case to view a specific item within.
On the left pane, expand the required folder.
On the right pane, do any of the following:
To restore a site collection along with any customizations and its child items, select the site collection.
To restore a sub-site along with its customizations and all the objects nested within it, select the sub-site.
To restore a list along with its customizations and child objects, select the list.
To restore a specific folder or item along with its different versions and associated metadata, select the folder or item.
On the upper-right, click Restore.
- On the Restore page, do the following:
From the Restore type drop-down list, select SharePoint/OneDrive.
From the Destination drop-down list, select the Export service that is configured for your tenant.
For more details, contact Veritas Support.
The destination site is populated in the Site collection URL field based on the item you selected for restore. Alternatively, you can enter the required URL if you want to restore it to an alternate location.
If you choose to restore a site collection from a backup, the following behavior is observed:
If the site collection does not exist at the destination site collection URL, the restore process creates a new site collection.
If the site collection does exist at the destination site collection URL, the restore process overwrites or updates its content with the backup.
Click Browse and then select the location for restore.
Configure the following SharePoint settings:
Checkboxes
Description
Overwrite settings, columns, content types for site collections, sites, and lists
The restore operation includes restoring any missing columns and content types. It does not overwrite or restore the existing settings, columns, and content types that are already in place.
If selected, the restore operation overwrites the existing settings, columns, and content types for an existing list or site.
This check box is not selected by default.
Restore permissions
If the check box is selected:
Permission objects are restored only on the SharePoint/OneDrive sites, lists, folders, and items that are created during the restore process.
Role definitions and site admins are restored for the root site that are created during the restore.
SharePoint Groups are restored on the sites and sub-sites that are created during the restore.
During the restore process, role assignments are restored for sites, sub-sites, lists, folders, and items, except for stubs.
If the check box is not selected:
Permissions not restored.
All objects inherit permissions.
Site admin not restored.
Site created with default permission objects.
This check box is not selected by default.
Suppress 'Removed from source' content
This check box is selected by default. It does not restore the data, which is deleted from the source.
Contact the Veritas Support team if you want to change the configuration.
Exclude Destination System Lists
Exclude Destination System Lists: When restoring system lists, like the master page, theme gallery, and taxonomy hidden lists, and so on, an Access denied error can occur if the destination site requires the Add and Customize Pages permission.
When the check box is selected:
Any items from hidden lists or catalogs (except the Teams wiki list) are skipped from the restore.
The skipped items are recorded in the diagnostic logs.
If a system list or a folder within a system list is chosen as the destination, and the checkbox is enabled, the restore is failed with an error indicating that restoration to the selected system list is not possible.
Restore only stubbed items
Select the check box to restore only items that are stubbed at the destination.
Overwrite items
Restore all versions, Restore all, Point-in-time, Specific range
See Selecting items to restore (all items, all versions, or point-in-time).
