The Team Drives data is restored into the source Team Drive, in a newly created Restored folder. If that Team Drive no longer exists in the user’s account, Spanning recreates the Team Drive.
When the restore is complete, you will be able to see your restored data in the Team Drives in Google Drive.
Please note that Team Drives data cannot be restored from one user to another user’s account since Team Drives data is not owned by a specific user.
