You currently cannot undo restoring a Droplet from a backup. However, if you have a snapshot of your Droplet from before restoring from the backup, you can restore the Droplet to that snapshot.

Otherwise, the only option is manual recovery using, for example, local copies of the Droplet’s data you may have from development.
