Maruthi Gadde yes Microsoft have now confirmed it's a limitation of SharePoint Online. Tools like ShareGate and Metalogix are the only option. Both are painfully slow though. Metalogix takes us 20 minutes per site. We have 1200 sites to do.

    Rob Ellis have asked AvePoint for further info. Last time we check their backup only restored to original location. We need to continually copy config and content between the development environments. Copy 1200 sites from Live to UAT and then refresh weekly.
