We have 2000+ documents that need restoring from different paths on the same server. Is there a way to put those paths into a spreadsheet or csv and run a script to restore them all?
Solved
Bulk Restore

Your PowerShell cmdlet is for VM files (vmdk, vmx, …). But the question is about documents. Let‘s assume he wants todo a Guest OS file restore. Then we need another cmdlet.
The command for Windows Guest OS file restore is listed here:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/powershell/start-vbrwindowsguestitemrestore.html?ver=120
The parameter -path allows you to add more than one path.
You could also use Import-CSV to import a csv file with all your paths. Then use a ForEach loop to process each row. That‘s basic Powershell and not specific to Veeam cmdlets.
Let us know if you can start creating a script with this information.

+21Based on the PS page for file restore you cannot - Start-VBRRestoreVMFiles - Veeam Backup PowerShell Reference
I am pretty sure also if you start a File Level restore you could do this but you would need to expand the entire tree. Never tested it so cannot say 100% if it would.
