Follow the steps below to restore Microsoft 365 data for an individual user from the old version of the SysCloud backup application:
Step 1: Log in to SysCloud Backup Application with your credentials.

- Outlook
- OneDrive

- Calendar

Step 5: Click “Restore”→“All.”
Step 6: Click “Restore.”

- You can change the email id here if you want to restore the data to another user (cross-user restore) – this is applicable only if you are a super admin.
- Check the “Check to restore a file with share permission” option if you want to retain sharing permissions on the restored files – this is applicable only for Drive and OneDrive applications.
Step 7: Click “Yes.”
Step 8: Repeat the procedure for all the services.
-
You can restore only one service at a time.
-
You cannot restore archived data into a user account on a different domain. You can only restore data to a user in the same domain.
-
As an admin, you can turn on self-service restore for the “Backup” module.
- Click “Setup”→“Settings”→“End-User Access.”
- Toggle Backup to “ON” at the domain level, user level, or organization unit level.

- Click “Yes.”

To test out the restores, we recommend the following:
- Use a temporary new user account as the destination account: To ensure that the restored version does not overwrite the current version of a file.
- Check the option “Create a new folder/label for restore” for Drive/email restores: To filter and easily access the restored files/emails.
