Rules for restoring files when version control is enabled in SharePoint

When files are being restored from Backup, it is possible that the path specified in SharePoint points to a file of the same name. Restoration of files of the same name depends on version control settings configured on the SharePoint server.

The following version control options exist:

Restoring a file of the same name with version control enabled

If there is no file of the same name in SharePoint, the application restores the object from Backup as a file with the first minor or major version, depending on the version of the file when a copy of it was placed in Backup. If major version control is enabled in SharePoint, the file will be restored as a file with the corresponding major version.
