Bulk Restore and Bulk Purge Recovery Items

This article shows how to use Max bulk selection for Recovery Vault restore/purge operations, understand permission checks for each item, and avoid treating a batch as one all-or-nothing provider operation.

What you need to know

  • Recovery protection is a safety boundary for destructive operations and is separate from Max/All Access Recovery Vault management. QCSB may create protected copies even when the current user cannot open the management UI.
  • Delete, replace/overwrite, and destructive move are blocked when the required protected copy cannot be created and verified.

How to do it

  1. Open the Recovery Vault and select the available records you intend to process.
  2. Use Restore Selected to restore the selected items, or Purge Selected for permanent removal.
  3. Review the confirmation carefully for bulk purge.
  4. QCSB processes the selected items individually and reports completed/failed counts rather than pretending the whole batch succeeded when some items failed.
  5. Inspect any reported failures separately and retry only after the underlying permission/provider/recovery issue is corrected.

Verify the result

  • The Recovery item/state matches the action you performed.
  • A restored/downloaded item matches the expected content and destination.
  • Purge/cleanup does not erase the historical audit trail.

Important limits and mistakes to avoid

  • Do not bypass failed recovery protection to force a destructive action. The block is intentional safety behavior.

Troubleshooting

  • If a destructive action is blocked because recovery protection failed, repair recovery storage/capacity first; do not bypass the protection boundary.
