Restore Google backup

Restoring a Google backup can be useful if you've lost access to your account or important data. Here are some steps to restore a Google backup:

1. Check your Internet connection: Make sure you have a stable Internet connection.

2. Open the "Google Accounts" page: Go to google.com and click on the link "Login" (if you are already authorized) or "Create an account" (if not).

3. Enter your email address: If you have a Gmail account, use that email address to log in.

4. Click the "Next" button and then select the "Forgot your password?" option.

5. Enter the last known password of your account: If you remember the previous password of your Google account, this is a good starting point when trying to perform the identity verification process

6. Selected verification via SMS/e-mail: You receive a confirmation code either by message or email

7. Wait 24 hours after you received the confirmation code: If your account has been hacked or broken, Google can block access to it. In such cases, they may require additional time from you for verification and unlocking.

8. Create a new password: Since the Google backup contains all data from your account (it can be Gmail mail, contacts, photos, etc.), you must create a new secure password after the recovery process is successfully completed.

If you have problems with these steps, or if you do not remember enough information to complete the identity verification process, I recommend contacting Google Support directly for help.
