jcgonzalezmartin see my edited post above. Might not be anything more than just a delay with some of the apps being fully restored. Bit of a rough experience overall.

Agree, and I would like to know if that it's the case...to me it makes sense taking into account what we know about delays when creating Groups from different sides...for instance the highest delay I'm currently seeing is the one that happens between you create a modern team site and you have the EXO inbox created

  I just needed the restore for a group which is being used in a production environment. I did the restore 15 min ago and the timeline of the conversations is already back(this took like 5 min).
  
  It is only taking some more time to restore the Onenote and SharePoint data. Are there any insights on how long it will take before everything is restored. Or is this the delay part, what i am waiting for now?

    cfiessingerWhen i now navigate to the group from outlook web. I get in the group. Only when i go to files i get. the message: That there is no data and that i can start using the area. When i navigate to the Library i get an 403 error page cannot be found. Does this means it is still restoring?
