# Process overview

**GitProtect provides a structured Confluence recovery process for protected resources, enabling restoration of content such as pages, spaces, attachments, and associated metadata to a selected recovery point. The recovery workflow supports granular restore scenarios, ensuring data consistency and minimizing downtime during incident recovery operations.**

***

## General information

With granular recovery, **GitProtect** enables restoring selected **Confluence** content without a full environment rollback. You can target specific spaces or groups that were deleted or modified, and selectively restore only the content you need. This speeds up recovery, reduces operational disruption, and prevents overwriting healthy data.

Granular recovery is ideal when only a small portion of information needs to be restored. It’s especially useful when:

* [x] Only a small set of data was lost, corrupted, or changed incorrectly.
* [x] You don’t want to overwrite current data.
* [x] You want a faster, targeted restoration with minimal disruption.

***

## Restore options

**GitProtect** provides two **Confluence** restore types:

1. **Restore spaces** — allows you to restore one or more spaces from a selected backup copy.
2. **Restore groups** — allows you to restore selected or all groups from a backup copy.

***

## Restore destination

**GitProtect** allows you to restore **Confluence** backups in two ways:

1. **To the original Confluence organization** — restoring backups directly to the original organization.
2. **To a new Confluence organization** — restoring backups to a different **Confluence** organization**\***.

<sub>**\***</sub><sub>The organization must already be integrated with</sub> <sub></sub><sub>**GitProtect**</sub><sub>; adding a new organization during the recovery process is not supported.</sub>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpcenter.gitprotect.io/backup-and-recovery/confluence/recovery/process-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
