How do I restore SharePoint data?


To restore your backed up SharePoint data, please follow the steps below:

1. Log into your Spanning Backup for Office 365 account. (Note: Only Spanning Admins will have access to SharePoint Backups)

2. Select the SharePoint tab.

9. Once the restore action has completed, all of your selected data will be restored into a newly created subsite in the desired Site, titled 'Restored on (date)'. When the restore has completed, you should also receive a notification by email. You can also navigate directly to the restored subsite by visiting the "Activity" tab in Spanning, selecting "Past", and opening up the details for this restore action - this will contain a direct link to the restore.
