## Output Object
- [`VBRApplicationRestorePoint`](vbrapplicationrestorepoint.md)
- `IVBRApplicationRestorePoint`

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Returning all Restore Points

This command returns all restore points of backups containing Microsoft SQL VMs.

```
Get-VBRApplicationRestorePoint -SQL
```

:::

::: example
### Example 2. Returning Specific Restore Point of Microsoft SQL VM

This example shows how to return a specific restore points of a Microsoft SQL VM named `crm_db`.

```
$crmdb = Get-VBRApplicationRestorePoint -SQL -Name "crm_db"
$restorepoint = $crmdb[2]
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the `Get-VBRApplicationRestorePoint` cmdlet. Provide the `SQL` parameter. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$crmdb` variable.
2. Select the third restore point. Save the result to the `$restorepoint` variable.

::: example
### Example 3. Returning Most Recent Restore Point of Specific Microsoft SQL VM [Using Pipeline]

This example shows how to return the most recent restore point of a Microsoft SQL VM named `crm_db`.

```
$crmdb = Get-VBRApplicationRestorePoint -SQL -Name "CRM-db" | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the `Get-VBRApplicationRestorePoint` cmdlet. Provide the `SQL` parameter. Specify the `Name` parameter value.
2. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Sort-Object`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/sort-object?view=powershell-7.3&viewFallbackFrom=powershell-7) cmdlet. Set the `CreationTime` value for the `Property` parameter. Provide the `Descending` parameter.
3. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Select-Object`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/select-object?view=powershell-7.3&viewFallbackFrom=powershell-7) cmdlet. Set the 1 number as the `First` parameter value. 
4. Save the result to the `$crmdb` variable.
