# Mount-VBRWindowsFileRestoreItems

## Short Description
Mounts disks of VMs for which restore is launched to the Veeam Backup & Replication console.

**Product Edition**: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

## Syntax
```
Mount-VBRWindowsFileRestoreItems [-Session <CRestoreSession>] [-FileRestore <FileRestore>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet mounts disks of VMs for which restore is launched to the Veeam Backup & Replication console. After the disks are mounted, you can use Microsoft Windows File Explorer to work with restored files and folders. By default, the disks are mounted to the `C:\VeeamFLR\` folder.

::: note

It is recommended that you use Microsoft Windows File Explorer only to view file content, not to restore files. For guest OS file restore, use the [`Start-VBRWindowsGuestItemRestore`](start-vbrwindowsguestitemrestore.md) cmdlet.

## Examples

::: example
### Mounting Disks of the VMs

This example shows how to mount disks of the `Hv_DNS` and `Hv_DC` VMs for which restore is launched.

```
$restore = Get-VBRRestoreSession -Name "Hv_DNS", "Hv_DC"
Mount-VBRWindowsFileRestoreItems -Session $restore
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRRestoreSession`](get-vbrrestoresession.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restore` variable.
2. Run the `Mount-VBRWindowsFileRestoreItems` cmdlet. Set the `$restore` variable as the `Session` parameter value.
