Examples

Adding Amazon S3 Object Storage to Backup Infrastructure

This example shows how to add an Amazon S3 compatible object storage repository to the backup infrastructure.

$account = Get-VBRAmazonAccount

$connect = Connect-VBRAmazonS3CompatibleService -Account $account -CustomRegionId "us-east-1" -ServicePoint "http://123.45.67.89:9000"

$bucket = Get-VBRAmazonS3Bucket -Connection $connect -Name "New Bucket"

$folder = Get-VBRAmazonS3Folder -Name "New Folder" -Bucket $bucket -Connection $connect

Add-VBRAmazonS3CompatibleRepository -AmazonS3Folder $folder -Connection $connect -Name "New Repository"

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VBRAmazonAccount cmdlet. Save the result to the $account variable.
  2. Run the Connect-VBRAmazonS3CompatibleService cmdlet. Set the $account variable as the Account parameter value. Specify the CustomRegionId and ServicePoint parameter values. Save the result to the $connect variable.
  3. Run the Get-VBRAmazonS3Bucket cmdlet. Set the $connect variable as the Connection parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $bucket variable.
  4. Run the Get-VBRAmazonS3Folder cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Set the $bucket variable as the Bucket parameter value. Set the $connect variable as the Connection parameter value. Save the result to the $folder variable.
  5. Run the Add-VBRAmazonS3CompatibleRepository cmdlet. Set the $folder variable as the AmazonS3Folder parameter value. Set the $connect variable as the Connection parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value.
