What is true when restoring a site from a backup in terms of existing content and users?

• A. It will only overwrite changes after the last backup
• B. It will override all existing content and users in your database
• C. It will restore only a specific space
• D. It creates a separate site copy

Answer: (B)

Restoring a site from a backup brings the entire system back to the exact state it was in at the time of the backup. This means all content and user data that existed when the backup was created are put back into place, replacing what’s currently in the live site. In practice, a full site restore overwrites the current content and user accounts, affecting everything across the site, not just a part of it. It’s not a selective process that only replays changes after the backup, nor does it typically create a separate copy of the site; you’re returning to the backup’s snapshot on the same site. If you need only a single space restored, that requires a different approach, such as exporting/importing that space separately.
