Backups & restore points · Versions and restoring
Will restoring a backup overwrite my current files?
Short answer: No. Restores never overwrite current files in place; they land alongside what you have, in a folder you choose, so you can compare and keep what you want.
No. Storage Studio never overwrites your current files in place when it restores — a restore always lands alongside what you already have, in the folder you choose. The folder picker says so: "Existing files aren't overwritten in place."
That means you can restore last month's copy of a folder without risking this morning's work, then compare the two and keep what you want.
