On the Archive Search Results page, a "Restore" link is displayed below each document listed.
When a document replaces an existing shortcut the behavior depends on the version of SharePoint on which the shortcut was created, as follows:
When the shortcut was created on SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007), the restored copy overwrites the shortcut.
When the shortcut was created on SharePoint Services 2.0 (WSS) or SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (SPS 2003) the restored copy is a new document with the name of the shortcut and a suffix (n). For example:
my document(1).doc
If you restore the original document again from the Archive Search Results page, another new document would be created with the following name:
my document(2).doc
On the version history page for the new document, clicking will display archived versions of the restored document, in the example, and archived versions of the original document, my document.doc in the example.
