The event field for a restore event contains an event type followed by event-specific information in parentheses.
The following table provides information about the events, their descriptions, and the related event information that can be recorded for a restore operation:

| End | Restores completed successfully | Number of files and amount of data processed |
| Abort | The operation is cancelled | Number of files and amount of data processed |
| Options | Specified options are listed | All options and their associated values, including NDMP options |
| Tape_open | The tape is open for read/write | The new tape device name |
| Tape_close | The tape is closed for read/write | The tape device name |
| Phase-change | Restore is entering a new processing phase | The new phase name |
| Error | Restore encounters an unexpected event | Error message |
The following is an example of the output for a restore operation:

There are two phases in a restore operation (restore directories and restore files).
The log file for a restore operation begins with either a Start or Restart event and ends with either an End or Abort event.
The following is an example of the output of a cancelled restore operation:
rst Thu Sep 20 02:13:54 GMT /rst_vol/ Start (Level 0) rst Thu Sep 20 02:13:54 GMT /rst_vol/ Options (r) rst Thu Sep 20 02:13:54 GMT /rst_vol/ Tape_open (nrst0a) rst Thu Sep 20 02:13:55 GMT /rst_vol/ Phase_change (Dirs) rst Thu Sep 20 02:13:56 GMT /rst_vol/ Phase_change (Files) rst Thu Sep 20 02:23:40 GMT /vol/rst_vol/ Error (Interrupted) rst Thu Sep 20 02:23:40 GMT /vol/rst_vol/ Tape_close (nrst0a) rst Thu Sep 20 02:23:40 GMT /vol/rst_vol/ Abort (3516 files, 598 MB)
