Hello guys, Welcome back to my tutorial on Google apps. In this tutorial i will let you know how you can restore data from a user profile. Suppose the user has accidentally deleted the mails or drive documents, it is possible to restore it through admin console. So we go to the user’s profile and click on a particular user. You can also search the name or email ID and got a suggestion and go to the corresponding user’s profile. Now in this user profile you see the drop-down here. There is a restore data option. So there is something which you should know here, date range between which data has been deleted should be with in the last 25 days. So i choose, suppose i want mails from the last 25 days to be restored, i will defined a range here suppose from 2nd to 26th. So this is the maximum range. It will be 25 days which you can defined and i click on Restore Data. So the message pops-up “Gmail data is being restored, Restored data will appear in the user’s inbox. This process may take up to 1 hour”. It will depend upon the number of emails users deleted or how many to be restored. Again using the same process you can click on restore data, Choose drive and select some date range according to your requirements and click on restore data. So again the message pops-up “The drive data is being restored. The drive data will appear on owner’s drive folder, in the same folder as before deleting”. So the documents will be looped in inside the corresponding folders form where the user deleted the documents. So I think it was helpful for you to know about restoring of data. If a user has deleted it accidentally.
