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.
