## Examples

::: example
### Stopping Linux-Based Guest OS File Restore

This example shows how to stop a restore session of Linux or Unix-based guest OS files of the `UbuntuSrv` machine.

```
$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "UbuntuSrv"
$restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup
$server = Get-VBRServer -Name "ESXi01"
$resourcepool = Find-VBRViResourcePool -Server $server -Name "Servers"
$session = Start-VBRLinuxFileRestore -RestorePoint $restorepoint -Server $server -ResourcePool $resourcepool
Stop-VBRLinuxFileRestore -LinuxFlrObject $session
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Start a restore session:

   - Run the [`Get-VBRBackup`](get-vbrbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
   - Run the [`Get-VBRRestorePoint`](get-vbrrestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Set the `$backup` variable the `Backup` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorepoint` variable.
   - Run the [`Get-VBRServer`](get-vbrserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$server` variable.
   - Run the [`Find-VBRViResourcePool`](find-vbrviresourcepool.md) cmdlet. Set the `$server` variable the `Server` parameter value. Specify the `Name` parameter values. Save the result to the `$resourcepool` variable.
   - Run the [`Start-VBRLinuxFileRestore`](start-vbrlinuxfilerestore.md) cmdlet. Set the `RestorePoint` variable the `RestorePoint` parameter value. Set the `$server` variable the `Server` parameter value. Set the `$resourcepool` variable the `ResourcePool` parameter value. Save the result to the `$session` variable.

2. Run the `Stop-VBRLinuxFileRestore` cmdlet. Set the `$session` variable as the `LinuxFlrObject` parameter value.
