Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection Administrator's Guide

Restore of OneDrive, Microsoft 365 Group, and Microsoft Teams sites

Recovery for OneDrive, Microsoft 365 Group, and Microsoft Teams sites is a two-step process as follows:

  • User/Group/Team Creation: The first step requires manual creation by the user of the OneDrive account, Microsoft 365 Group, or Microsoft Teams. This step involves setting up the user, group, or Team.

  • Data restore using SharePoint: Data can be restored to the respective sites using SharePoint restores.

To recover data for Microsoft Teams Sites:

  • Create a New Destination Team: Create a new Team at the targeted location.

  • Create Channels for the Team: Set up channels within the Team as needed.

  • Add Users to the Team: Populate the Team with users who should have access to the data.

  • Add Additional Resources: Include other necessary resources such as wikis, planners, customizations, and more to the Team.

  • SharePoint Restore Process: Use the SharePoint restore process to recover SharePoint data and restore it to the top-level site that was created for the Team from the backup.

  • Repeat for Teams Private Channel Sites: If there are private channel sites within the Team, repeat the process to restore data.

Permission objects are created by the restore process only on sites it creates. SharePoint Groups and Role definitions are not restored at the top-level site for OneDrive and Teams sites. Any unique Role Assignments using those Groups and Role definitions are also not restored.

If a list or site already exists at the destination, its title does not change during the restore process.
