     .PARAMETER StopAfterDate
         DateTime value specifying that only StopMark occurrences after this date should be considered for restore termination.
         Use this when the same mark name appears multiple times in your transaction log backups.

+        Log Sequence Number (LSN) in the transaction log at which to stop the restore operation.
+        Use this for precise point-in-time recovery to an exact LSN, which provides more granular control than timestamp-based recovery.

     .PARAMETER Checksum
         Enables backup checksum verification during restore operations. Forces the restore to verify backup checksums and fail if checksums are not present.
         Use this to ensure backup files contain checksums and validate them during restore, following backup best practices.
