The request command will start a restore session only for backups that were created at the time you specified. The firstBackuptime and lastBackuptime properties of the /Organizations/{ID} resource inform you when the organization's data was backed up for the first and last times.
Mind the following:
- If you specify the point in time which precedes the organization's first backup time, the restore session will be created with no backup data for explore or restore.
- If you specify the point in time which exceeds the organization's last backup time, the restore session will be created with backup data as of the latest restore point.
