Gearset's data backup jobs provide comprehensive data restore capability. In the event that any data is lost, corrupted, or otherwise changed in an org, you can easily use a snapshot from your backup job to restore that data to its previous state.
One use case for this tool could be a script that has been run that has deleted 50 opportunities, but the accounts and other related objects have been left untouched. This would be the best option for restoration.
