### Example 2. Creating Manual Mount Options for Instant Restore of File Share Backup

This example shows how to create a set of manually configured mount options for instant restore of file share backups.

```
$backup = Get-VBRUnstructuredBackup -Name "Daily SMB1 Backup"
$nasBackupPoint = Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupRestorePoint -NASBackup $backup
$manualMapping = New-VBRNASInstantRecoveryMountOptions -RestorePoint $nasBackupPoint[0] -MountServer "172.17.20.3"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRUnstructuredBackup`](get-vbrunstructuredbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupRestorePoint`](get-vbrunstructuredbackuprestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Set the `$backup` variable as the `NASBackup` parameter value. Save the result to the `$nasBackupPoint` variable.
3. Run the `New-VBRNASInstantRecoveryMountOptions` cmdlet. Specify the following parameters:

   - Specify the first value from the array returned to the `$nasBackupPoint` variable as the `RestorePoint` parameter.
   - Specify the `MountServer` parameter value.
   - Save the result to the `$manualMapping` variable.
