# Restoring Files and Directories in Command Line Interface

You can use the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX command line interface to restore files and directories in one of the following ways:

- [Restore from backup](files_restore_cmd_backup.md)

  When you restore files and directories from a backup, Veeam Agent will automatically select the latest restore point in the backup. You can restore files and directories to the state in which they were at the time when the latest restore point was created.

- [Restore from restore point](files_restore_cmd_point.md)

  When you restore files and directories from a restore point, you can select the necessary restore point in the backup to recover data to a specific point in time.
