# Monitoring Restore Points

Restore points are time stamped directories on an S3 replication peer or an async replication peer that let you access data as it was at the point in time when the data was replicated. Each active protected path with a replication peer creates a restore point every time it performs replication. The name of each restore point is the time of the creation of a snapshot for replication. Restore points remain on a replication peer independent of whether the protected path that created them still exists.

The progress of a restore point shows as *IN_PROGRESS* while the protected path is copying the data for the restore point, and changes to *COMPLETE* when done. The logical size is the total size of the data set represented by a restore point, while the physical size is the amount of data used to store the restore point. The protected path copies the delta between the last restore point and the current one.

| ID | The ID of the restore point. |
| --- | --- |
| Name | The name of the restore point. |
| Replication Stream | The name of the protected path that created the restore point. |
| Peer | The name of the replication peer or S3 replication peer on which the restore point resides. |
| Creation Time | The time of taking a snapshot and beginning replication to the restore point. |
| State | - IN_PROGRESS. Replication is still in progress for the restore point. Files can't be copied yet from this restore point. - COMPLETE means the restore point is fully replicated. Files can be copied from the restore point. |
| Transferred Logical Size | The total size of the data set represented by a restore point. |
| Transferred Physical Size | The amount of data used to store the restore point. |
| Remaining Time | The estimated remaining time until a restore point is completely replicated. |
| Progress | - IN_PROGRESS. Replication is still in progress. - COMPLETE (100%) means the restore point is fully replicated. |

## Monitoring Restore Points via VAST CLI

To view details of all restore points, run the [restorepoint list](/docs-5-3/docs/en/restorepoint-list) command.

To view details of a specific restore point, run the [restorepoint show](/docs-5-3/docs/en/restorepoint-show) command.
