Recovering Google Drive files

1. Click G Suite.
2. If multiple G Suite organizations were added to the Cyber Protection service, select the organization whose backed-up data you want to recover. Otherwise, skip this step.
3. Expand the Users node, select All users, select the user whose Google Drive files you want to recover, and then click Recovery.

   If the user was deleted, select the user in the Cloud applications backups section of the Backup storage tab, and then click Show backups.

   You can search users by name. Wildcards are not supported.

4. Select a recovery point.

   Tip. To see only the recovery points that contain Google Drive files, select Google Drive in Filter by content.

5. Click Recover > Files/folders.
6. Browse to the required folder or use search to obtain the list of the required files and folders.

   You can use one or more wildcard characters (* and ?). For more details about using wildcards, refer to "File filters".

   The search is not available if the backup is encrypted.

7. Select the files that you want to recover.

   If the backup is not encrypted and you selected a single file, you can click Show versions to select the file version to recover. You can select any backed-up version, earlier or later than the selected recovery point.

8. If you want to download a file, select the file, click Download, select the location to save the file to, and then click Save. Otherwise, skip this step.

    By default, the original user is selected. If this user does not exist or a non-original organization is selected, you must specify the target user or the target Shared drive.
