$connect = Connect-VBRAmazonS3Service -Account $account[1] -RegionType Global -ServiceType CapacityTier

$bucket = Get-VBRAmazonS3Bucket -Connection $connect -Name "Bucket-01"

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

Add-VBRAmazonS3Repository -Name "AmazonS3Repository" -Connection $connect -AmazonS3Folder $folder -EnableIAStorageClass -EnableSizeLimit -SizeLimit 1024

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VBRAmazonAccount cmdlet. Save the result to the $account variable.
