# Start-VBRApplicationBackupCopyInstantRecovery

## Short Description
Starts instant recovery of the application backup repository data from a backup copy restore point.

**Platform**: VMware, Hyper-V

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

## Syntax
```
Start-VBRApplicationBackupCopyInstantRecovery [-RestorePoint] <COib> -Server <CHost> -RestoreFolder <String>
 [-Reason <String>] [-RepositoryPermissions <VBRApplicationBackupRepositoryPermission[]>]
 [-EnableKerberosPermissions] [-KerberosPermissions <VBRApplicationBackupRepositoryKerberosPermission[]>]
 [-Force] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet starts an instant recovery session from the backup copy restore point of the application backup repository data. Veeam Backup & Replication mounts the restore point to the temporary folder on the application backup repository host and makes the application data immediately available via NFS.

### Starting Instant Recovery from Backup Copy Restore Point

This example shows how to start instant recovery of the application backup repository data from a backup copy restore point.

```
$restorePoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name "ApplicationBackup01"
$server = Get-VBRServer -Name "172.18.21.25"
$permission = New-VBRApplicationBackupRepositoryPermission -ServerName "172.18.21.26" -Mode ReadWrite
Start-VBRApplicationBackupCopyInstantRecovery -RestorePoint $restorePoint -Server $server -RestoreFolder "/ApplicationBackup01_restore" -RepositoryPermissions $permission
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRRestorePoint`](get-vbrrestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorePoint` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRServer`](get-vbrserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$server` variable.
3. Run the [`New-VBRApplicationBackupRepositoryPermission`](new-vbrapplicationbackuprepositorypermission.md) cmdlet. Specify the `ServerName` and `Mode` parameter values. Save the result to the `$permission` variable.
4. Run the `Start-VBRApplicationBackupCopyInstantRecovery` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$restorePoint` variable as the `RestorePoint` parameter value.
   - Set the `$server` variable as the `Server` parameter value.
   - Specify the `RestoreFolder` parameter value.
   - Set the `$permission` variable as the `RepositoryPermissions` parameter value.
