Data restore locations

This article describes where to find the data you restore for each of the services.

Restored data folder naming convention

When you restore data, Datto SaaS Protection creates a folder in the root of the service using the following naming convention: SaaS Protection Restore YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. The timestamp prevents restored items from overwriting current content.

EXAMPLE  An example restore folder name is SaaS Protection Restore 2023-10-20 20;44;38.

Empty folders are not exported. To be restored, a folder must contain at least one item.

Google Mail

Mail content selected for recovery is restored to the Labels section of the selected user's Gmail service.

Google Drive

Drive content selected for recovery is restored to the My Drive directory in the user's Drive service.

The Shared with me directory in Drive contains the files that others have shared with you. On the Google Drive Recovery page, the files are backed up and listed individually outside of the My Drive backup folder, as shown in the example.

Google Shared Drives

Shared Drive content selected for recovery is restored to the Shared Drives directory in the user's Drive service.

Google Calendar

Calendar items selected for recovery are restored as a separate calendar to the My Calendars section in the user's Calendar service.

Google Contacts

Recovered contact information is restored to the Labels section in the user's Contacts service.
