$session = Get-VEADRestoreSession

$domain = Get-VEADDomain -Session $session[3]

Get-VEADContainer -Domain $domain

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEADRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session (in our example, it is the fourth restore session in the array).
