For Outlook, Veeam Data Cloud restores the data to a newly created folder, called Recovered Items YYYY-MM-DD, HH:MM.

For OneDrive, Veeam Data Cloud restores the data to a newly created OneDrive with an R and a number added to the end of the URL. For example, https://contoso-my.sharepoint.com/personal/user1_contoso_comR0.

For SharePoint, Veeam Data Cloud restores the data to a newly created site with an R and a number added to the end of the URL. For example, https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/originalSiteR0.

12. Select the Fast restore check box if you want to restore the data from the fastest available restore points created by OneDrive and SharePoint Express backup policies. The fast restore feature does not apply to Exchange restores. For more information, see this Microsoft article.
