===== Full Account Restore =====

This section allows you to restore an entire user's archive by selecting:

  * **User ID** – Enter the archived user's email address.
  * **Component** – Choose from:
    * `OneDrive`
    * `Email` (Exchange)
    * `Teams`
  * **Destination Type** – Choose where the restore will go:
    * **SMB Path** – UNC network path (e.g., `\\server\share`)
    * **OneDrive** – Another user’s active OneDrive account

→ After filling the required fields, click **Queue Full Restore** to begin processing.

===== Individual File or Email Restore =====

For targeted recovery of specific items:

  * **User ID** – Enter the user to search for.
  * **Component** – Select OneDrive, Email, or Teams.
  * **Search Files** – Use path-based filters to find specific items (e.g., `/Inbox/*` or `/Documents/report.docx`)

→ Click **Fetch Files** to browse and restore selected files or emails. These files will download locally within your browser.

===== Notes =====

  * Restores are tracked in real-time on the [[software:chipmunk:dashboard|Dashboard]].
  * Only archived users are eligible for restore operations.
