You can restore versions of files or folders that you backed up as well as the folders that the administrator mandated for backup. After every backup, Druva saves a snapshot of the backup data to a storage. This snapshot is an exact copy of the original backup data at that point in time. The number of snapshots retained in a storage depends on the number of backups completed and the retention policy of your organization.

When restoring data, consider the following:
Restore requests are not processed when another restore is in progress.
Restore requests are not allowed if a backup operation is in progress.
If the Druva Mobile App is not connected to the Druva Cloud, the restore requests remain in the queue. Restores start whenever the connection with the Druva Cloud is established.
If the connection between the Druva Mobile App and the Druva Cloud is interrupted, the restore operation stops. On Android devices, the restore operation restarts if the connection is reestablished.
However, restore is neither resumed nor re-established on iOS devices. For iOS devices, Druva uses location services to restart the backup on a significant location change.
📝 Note
For Android devices, if you do not have write permissions to the external SD card, then the external SD card option will not be displayed when restoring data.
