Group Restore doesn't restore SharePoint Site
Are there any known issues with the GUI process described in this document about restoring an Office 365 Group? I see that it was just updated on July 16, 2018, but we seem to be having some difficul...
It's just another example of the "loose coupling" between the different workloads that makes Groups tick. When you perform an action such as restore a Group, a "signal" is supposed to be sent to all the individual workloads, but as we have occasionally seen, this process is not as reliable as it should be. In turn, the instantaneous results we are expecting are replaced by longer wait period, until the async processes on the backend pick up the recovery operation (which can take 24h or more).
That said, it might also be some bigger issue on the backend, so open a support ticket just in case.
