## Examples

### Example 1. Stopping Restore Session of Windows Guest OS Files

This example shows how to stop a restore session of Windows guest OS files of the `WinSrv25` machine.

```
$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "WinSrv25"
$restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup -Name "Production VM"
$session = Start-VBRWindowsFileRestore -RestorePoint $restorepoint
Stop-VBRWindowsFileRestore -FileRestore $session
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Start the restore session:

   1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackup`](get-vbrbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
   2. Run the [`Get-VBRRestorePoint`](get-vbrrestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Set the `$backup` variable as the `Backup` parameter value. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorepoint` variable.
   3. Run the [`Start-VBRWindowsFileRestore`](start-vbrwindowsfilerestore.md) cmdlet. Set the `$restorepoint` variable as the `RestorePoint` parameter value. Save the result to the `$session` variable.

2. Run the `Stop-VBRWindowsFileRestore` cmdlet. Set the `$session` variable as the `FileRestore` parameter value.
