Download Site Collection
Overview
As an inSync Cloud administrator, you can download the SharePoint Online backup data using the inSync Management Console.
You can download the entire site collection along with SharePoint settings as zipped folders in a <site collection name>.zip format. inSync also allows you to do selective downloads for specific backed up sites and subsites using their metadata attributes. For more information, see Enterprise Search for backed up data.
Note: On Windows OS, if the compressed zip file size is too large, you may experience error unzipping the file using Windows Explorer. In such scenarios, you may choose another utility to unzip such large data sets.
Procedure

- In the right pane, click the Backups tab. From all the listed backup site collections, browse and select the sites and subsites that you want to restore. Alternatively, you can use Search Site Collection, located at the top-right corner to search for site titles or urls across your backed-up SharePoint Online sites and subsites.
