      How to restore Google Workspace user archives from the SysCloud backup application?

      Note:

      Restoring an entire application will take some time depending on the size of data and the number of files present in the application.

      Applicable for both Turbo and Legacy backup versions.

      Choose the version   Turbo backup | Legacy backup

      Follow the steps below to restore Google Workspace user archives from the Turbo version of the SysCloud backup application: 

      Step 1: Log in to SysCloud using your admin credentials.

      Note: You can also search for users, accounts, or domains in the global search bar to make the restore process easier. 

      Step 3: Navigate to the user archives tab. To restore data at a user level, click on the checkbox next to the user whose data you wish to restore. Click “Restore.” 

      Step 4: In the restore pop-up box, select the snapshot date and time for each app and select an account to restore the data.
