Restoring a Table to a Point in Time in Dynamics 365

Point-in-time restores are useful only when you need to revert a table to a state just before an undesired incident occurred. The table and table schema will be reverted based on the backups available for the selected date.

Important

A backup of the table must be present for the date you want to restore to.
