> Business Central allows administrators to restore an environment from a previous point in time using the Admin Center, enabling recovery of accidentally deleted data from backups within the past 28 days. This feature helps protect against data loss incidents by allowing point-in-time recovery.

## Key points

- An environment can be restored to any point within the last 28 days from the Admin Center
- Steps: open the environment, select Restore, pick a date and time before the data loss, give the restored environment a name and type, then confirm
- After the restore completes, the recovered data can be copied back to production
- Useful for recovering accidentally deleted production data when no other backup exists

## Quotes

- "You can restore to any point in the past 28 days." (Clarifies the time window available for recovery, a critical constraint administrators need to understand)

## Context

- Features: Environment Restore, Point-in-time Recovery, Admin Center
