Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
RestorePoint	Specifies a restore point. The cmdlet will start a restore to recover backup files to the specified restore point.	Accepts the VBRNASBackupRestorePoint object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint cmdlet.	True	Named	True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
DestinationServer	Specifies a target file share. The cmdlet will start a restore to recover backup files to this file share.	Accepts the VBRNASServer object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRNASServer cmdlet.	False	Named	False
DestinationFolderPath	Specifies the path to the folder on the file share. The cmdlet will restore backups to the specified folder.	String	False	Named	False
PreservePermissions	Defines that the cmdlet will restore permissions and security attributes of recovered backups. If you provide this parameter, the cmdlet will restore backup files with security attributes and permissions set by the user. Otherwise, permissions and security attributes of restored backups will not be recovered.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
PreserveHierarchy	For restore to a different location. Defines that the cmdlet will restore the hierarchy of recovered backups. If you provide this parameter, the cmdlet will restore hierarchy of recovered backups. Otherwise, the folder hierarchy of backups will not be recovered.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
RollBack	Defines that the cmdlet will roll back backup files that have been modified to a previous version. Files, that have not been modified will remain unchanged. If you provide this parameter, the cmdlet will roll back the modified backup files. Otherwise, the cmdlet will restore the latest version of files that have been modified. Note: You must specify either this or the OverwriteMode parameter.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
RunAsync	Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
OverwriteMode	Specifies restore options for files, that you want to restore if they are already added to the target file share.

The cmdlet will keep the existing file version on the target file share. Overwrite: use this option if you want to overwrite the existing file version with the restored file version. OverwriteIfOlder: use this option if the backed-up file version is newer than the existing file version on the file share. The cmdlet will overwrite the existing file versions with the backed-up file versions. Note: You must specify either this or the RollBack parameter.
