Unified Groups Recovery still missing?
One of our users wanted to try out the MS Teams features. As all private Office 365 Groups also are potential MS Teams users get confused. In this case the user "removed" a potential duplicate Team from the teams app itself. The user didn't notice a Office 365 will be deleted and not only the MS Teams part. Is there still no way to recover a Unified Group? If I try to delete a group through the admin center it tells me excactly that:
"You're about to delete the group. If you continue, all of the group's conversations, files, notebooks, and events will be permanently deleted and you won't be able to get them back.
Before you continue, copy any content that you want to keep."
Is it possible to make a site collection restore request trough the admin portal and at least get all the files back from the underlying SPO site collection?
Office 365 Groups is not in any kind of preview... does it really means we don't have any kind of backup for our production content in Office 365 groups!

We made a service request to restore the underlying site collection and it took one phone call because Microsoft couldn't find the site collection in the recycle bin, so we told them we then want a restore and now we have the SharePoint part back. So using groups in production just got a little bit less scary :)

- Yeap, that's the reality for now

The ability to recover deleted O365 groups is now live!
