Example 1. Adding Azure Blob Storage as Object Storage Repository

This example shows how to add an Azure Blob storage as an object storage repository to backup infrastructure.

$account = Get-VBRAzureBlobAccount -Name "Azure Blob"

$connect = Connect-VBRAzureBlobService -Account $account -RegionType Global -ServiceType CapacityTier

$container = Get-VBRAzureBlobContainer -Connection $connect

$folder = Get-VBRAzureBlobFolder -Container $container -Connection $connect

Add-VBRAzureBlobRepository -AzureBlobFolder $folder -Connection $connect

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRAzureBlobAccount cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $account variable.
Run the Connect-VBRAzureBlobService cmdlet. Specify the Account, RegionType and ServiceType parameter values. Save the result to the $connect variable.
Run the Get-VBRAzureBlobContainer cmdlet. Specify the Connection parameter value. Save the result to the $container variable.
Run the Get-VBRAzureBlobFolder cmdlet. Specify the Container and Connection parameter values. Save the result to the $folder variable.
Run the Get-VBRAzureBlobAccount cmdlet. Set the $folder variable as the AzureBlobFolder parameter value. Set the $connect variable as the Connection parameter value.

Example 2. Adding Azure Blob Storage as External Repository

This example shows how to add an Azure Blob storage as an external repository to backup infrastructure.

$account = Get-VBRAzureBlobAccount -Name "Azure Blob"

$connect = Connect-VBRAzureBlobService -Account $account -RegionType Global -ServiceType ExternalRepository

$container = Get-VBRAzureBlobContainer -Connection $connect

$folder = Get-VBRAzureBlobFolder -Container $container -Connection $connect

Add-VBRAzureBlobRepository -AzureBlobFolder $folder -Connection $connect

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRAzureBlobAccount cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $account variable.
Run the Connect-VBRAzureBlobService cmdlet. Specify the Account, RegionType and ServiceType parameter values. Save the result to the $connect variable.
