# New-VBRIrisInstancePathMappingRule

## Short Description
Defines path mapping rules for InterSystems IRIS instance restore.

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

## Syntax
```
New-VBRIrisInstancePathMappingRule -OriginalPath <String> -TargetPath <String> [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet creates the [`VBRIrisInstancePathMappingRule`](vbririsinstancepathmappingrule.md) object that maps an original path of an InterSystems IRIS instance to a target path.

Use this object as the `PathMapping` parameter value when you run the [`Start-VBRIrisInstanceRestore`](start-vbririsinstancerestore.md) cmdlet to restore an InterSystems IRIS instance to a different location. To get the original paths of a restore point, run the [`Get-VBRIrisInstanceOriginalPath`](get-vbririsinstanceoriginalpath.md) cmdlet.
