Recovering an entire OneDrive

  1. Click Microsoft 365.
  2. If multiple Microsoft 365 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 OneDrive 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.

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

  5. Click Recover > Entire OneDrive.

  6. If multiple Microsoft 365 organizations were added to the Cyber Protection service, click Microsoft 365 organization to view, change, or specify the target organization.

    By default, the original organization is selected. If this organization is no longer registered in the Cyber Protection service, you must specify the target organization.

  7. In Recover to drive, view, change, or specify the target user.

    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.

  8. Select whether to recover the sharing permissions for the files.
  9. Click Start recovery.

  10. Select one of the overwriting options:

    Option Description
    Overwrite an existing file if it is older If there is a file with the same name in the destination location, and it is older than the source file, the source file will be saved in the destination location, replacing the older version.
    Overwrite existing files All existing files in the destination location are overwritten, regardless of their last modified date.
    Do not overwrite existing files If there is a file with the same name in the destination location, no changes are applied to it, and the source file is not saved to the destination location.

    When you recover OneNote notebooks, both Overwrite an existing file if it is older and Overwrite existing files will result in overwriting the exiting OneNote notebooks.

  11. Click Proceed to confirm your decision.
