# Start a restore

> Select a recovery point and submit a restore task for a supported resource.

A restore request selects a protected resource, recovery point, restore target, and the objects or
records to recover. The operation returns a task that you can monitor until it completes.

## Workflow

1. Use discovery to locate the restore operation for the workload.
2. Select a completed recovery point.
3. Provide the destination account, region, and target resource when restoring across boundaries.
4. Submit the request and record the returned task ID.
5. [Monitor the task](/api-reference/monitor-task), then verify the restored data.

<Note>
  The endpoint path and request body differ by workload. This page is a guide to the workflow; use the
  [canonical endpoint reference](https://api.commvault.com/docs/latest/api/cv/ClumioAPIs/clumio-rest-api/)
  for the operation-specific schema.
