Can I restore data from a quarantined Group?

Why can I not unzip the downloaded file?
Windows Explorer may not handle very large .zip files. Use an alternative extraction tool.
Where do I download SharePoint site data?
Go to the specific SharePoint site to access and download site-specific data, see
