10 * (((
11 If one of the Pages in the batch has been [[recreated>>xwiki:documentation.xs.admin.base.page.index.page-replacement.WebHome]] rather than restored from the recycle bin, the restore fails for that Page, and the Job Log names it.

15 The batch still reports "Done" and its other Pages are restored. The one that failed can be [[replaced with the deleted Page>>xwiki:documentation.xs.admin.base.page.index.page-replacement.WebHome]].
