hello ​@techyogi 
I hope this helps!

For both in-place and out-of-place restore operations, you'll see an option called "Unconditional Overwrite". By default, this option is unchecked. Enabling it will overwrite any existing data at the destination with the data being restored.

Additionally, you can like create a new folder and perform an out-of-place restore, you can restore documents, lists, and libraries to a different path from where they were originally backed up.
 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

I hope you're having a great day!
 

Regarding the issue with the "overwrite" option, it should be unchecked by default. If it's not, there may be a configuration setting to check.

As for creating a folder for restore, you can use the "Out of Place " option. Simply click Browse, then create a new directory. Alternatively, you can log in locally to the machine and create the folder manually.
