## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Restoring All Objects to File Shares

This example shows how to restore all backed-up files and folders to the `\\WinSrv\Reports` file share. Veeam Backup & Replication will save files and folders to the `\\WinSrv\Reports\Restored` folder on the file share.

```
$session = Get-VBRNASBackupFLRSession
$fileshare = Get-VBRNASServer -Name "\\WinSrv\Reports"
$file = Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Session $session
Save-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Item $file -Server $fileshare -Path "\\WinSrv\Reports\Restored"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupFLRSession`](get-vbrnasbackupflrsession.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$session` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRNASServer`](get-vbrnasserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$fileshare` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem`](get-vbrnasbackupflritem.md) cmdlet. Set the `$session` variable as the `Session` parameter value. Save the result to the `$file` variable.
4. Run the `Save-VBRNASBackupFLRItem` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$file` variable as the `Item` parameter value.
   - Set the `$fileshare` variable as the `Server` parameter value.
   - Specify the `Path` parameter value.

### Example 2. Restoring Specific Folder to File Shares

This example shows how to restore the `October Reports` folder to the `\\WinSrv\Reports` file share. Veeam Backup & Replication will save files and folders to the `\\WinSrv\Reports\Restored` folder on the file share.

```
$session = Get-VBRNASBackupFLRSession
$fileshare = Get-VBRNASServer -Name "\\WinSrv\Reports"
$files = Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Session $session -Name "October Reports"
Save-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Item $files -Server $fileshare -Path "\\WinSrv\Reports\Restored"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupFLRSession`](get-vbrnasbackupflrsession.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$session` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRNASServer`](get-vbrnasserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$fileshare` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem`](get-vbrnasbackupflritem.md) cmdlet. Set the `$session` variable as the `Session` parameter value. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$files` variable.
4. Run the `Save-VBRNASBackupFLRItem` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$files` variable as the `Item` parameter value.
   - Set the `$fileshare` variable as the `Server` parameter value.
