     • If the site collection does not exist at the destination site collection URL, the restore process creates a new site collection.

     • If the site collection does exist at the destination site collection URL, the restore process overwrites or updates its content with the backup.

   • Click Browse and then select the location for restore.

     See Recovery process and restore location options.

   • Configure the following SharePoint settings:

     Overwrite settings, columns, content types for site collections, sites, and lists	This check box is not selected by default. The restore operation includes restoring any missing columns and content types. It does not overwrite or restore the existing settings, columns, and content types that are already in place. If selected, the restore operation overwrites the existing settings, columns, and content types for an existing list or site.
     Restore permissions	This check box is not selected by default. If the check box is selected: Permission objects are restored only on the SharePoint/OneDrive sites, lists, folders, and items that are created during the restore process. Role definitions and site admins are restored for the root site that are created during the restore. SharePoint Groups are restored on the sites and sub-sites that are created during the restore. During the restore process, role assignments are restored for sites, sub-sites, lists, folders, and items, except for stubs. See Stub restore behavior. If the check box is not selected: Permissions not restored. All objects inherit permissions. Site admin not restored. Site created with default permission objects.
     Suppress 'Removed from source' content	This check box is selected by default. It does not restore the data, which is deleted from the source. Contact the Veritas Support team if you want to change the configuration.
     Exclude Destination System Lists	Exclude Destination System Lists: When restoring system lists, like the master page, theme gallery, and taxonomy hidden lists, and so on, an Access denied error can occur if the destination site requires the Add and Customize Pages permission. When the check box is selected: Any items from hidden lists or catalogs (except the Teams wiki list) are skipped from the restore. The skipped items are recorded in the diagnostic logs. If a system list or a folder within a system list is chosen as the destination, and the checkbox is enabled, the restore is failed with an error indicating that restoration to the selected system list is not possible.
     Restore only stubbed items	Select the check box to restore only items that are stubbed at the destination.
     Overwrite items	See Overwrite restore behavior for SharePoint Online.
