# Performing Unstructured Data Recovery

You can restore entire file share or specific files and folders. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Click **All** > **Veeam** > **Unstructured Data** > **Restore Sessions**.
2. Click **New**.
3. Specify the name of the restore session.
4. Select the backup and the restore point.
5. Select the restore type:

    - To restore entire file share, in the **Type** drop-down list, select *Entire File Share Restore*. Then, specify the destination server and destination folder path.
    - To restore specific files and folders, in the **Type** drop-down list, select *File Restore*. Then, specify file names and folder names in the **Items To Restore** field.

6. If the file with the same name already exists in the target folder and you want to override it with the restored one, select the **Overwrite Existing Files** check box.
7. To allow a specific user group to run this session, unlock the **User Groups** field and select a user group from the list.
8. Click **Submit**. The restore session starts immediately. Restore session states are automatically updated every hour using REST API requests.
