What does "That earlier copy didn't survive intact, so it wasn't restored" mean?

Short answer: The earlier copy failed its check, so it wasn't restored and your current file is untouched. Try another version, and check the health of where versions are stored.

When you restore an earlier copy of a file, Storage Studio checks the restored version before it replaces your current one. This one failed the check — it may have been damaged where it was stored — so Storage Studio kept your current file untouched.

Try a different earlier version if one is available. If none restore cleanly, check the health of the drive or account holding them.
