`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7).

## Output Object
The cmdlet returns the [`VBRNASBackupFLRItem`](vbrnasbackupflritem.md) object that contains information on backed-up objects that have been restored to original file shares.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Restoring all Versions of Objects to File Share

This example shows how to restore specific versions of files and folders to the original file share. Veeam Backup & Replication will not overwrite files and folders that are already added to a file share with versions of these files and folders from a backup.

```
$session = Get-VBRNASBackupFLRSession
$files = Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Session $session
$fileversion = Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItemVersion -Item $files
Restore-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Item $fileversion[0]
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupFLRSession`](get-vbrnasbackupflrsession.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$session` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem`](get-vbrnasbackupflritem.md) cmdlet. Set the `$session` variable as the `Session` parameter value. Save the result to the `$files` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItemVersion`](get-vbrnasbackupflritemversion.md) cmdlet. Set the `$files` variable as the `Item` parameter value. Save the result to the `$fileversion` variable.
4. Run the `Restore-VBRNASBackupFLRItem` cmdlet. Set the `$fileversion[0]` variable as the `Item` parameter value.

### Example 2. Restoring Specific Restore Point of Objects to File Share

This example shows how to restore files and folders to the specific restore point.Veeam Backup & Replication will overwrite files and folders that are already added to a file share with versions of these files and folders from a backup.

```
$restorepoint = Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint
$session = Start-VBRNASBackupFLRSession -RestorePoint $restorepoint[3]
Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Session $session
Restore-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Item $fileversion -Overwrite
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint`](get-vbrnasbackuprestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$restorepoint` variable.
2. Run the [`Start-VBRNASBackupFLRSession`](start-vbrnasbackupflrsession.md) cmdlet. Set the `$restorepoint` variable as the `RestorePoint` parameter value. Save the result to the `$session` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem`](get-vbrnasbackupflritem.md) cmdlet. Set the `$session` variable as the `Session` parameter value. Save the result to the `$files` variable.
4. Run the `Restore-VBRNASBackupFLRItem` cmdlet. Set the `$fileversion` variable as the `Item` parameter value. Provide the `Overwrite` parameter.
