### Example 1. Getting Restore Points by Domain

This example shows how to get restore points for an Active Directory domain.

```
$forest = Get-VBRADForest
$domain = Get-VBRADForestDomain -ADForest $forest
Get-VBRADForestDomainRestorePoint -Domain $domain
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRADForest`](get-vbradforest.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$forest` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRADForestDomain`](get-vbradforestdomain.md) cmdlet. Set the `$forest` variable as the `ADForest` parameter value. Save the result to the `$domain` variable.
3. Run the `Get-VBRADForestDomainRestorePoint` cmdlet. Set the `$domain` variable as the `Domain` parameter value.

$controller = Get-VBRADForestDomainController -ADForestDomain $domain
Get-VBRADForestDomainRestorePoint -DomainController $controller
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRADForest`](get-vbradforest.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$forest` variable.
