Description	Specifies a description of an object storage repository. The cmdlet will add a Veeam Data Cloud Vault to the backup infrastructure with this description.	String	False	Named	False
EnableSizeLimit	Defines that the cmdlet will enable size limits for a Veeam Data Cloud Vault that you want to add as a backup repository. Use the SizeLimit parameter to specify the size limits.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
SizeLimit	For the EnableSizeLimit parameter. Specifies size limits in GB for data blocks that you want to store in a Veeam Data Cloud Vault. Permitted value: 1024 - 1073741824. Default: 10240.	Int32	False	Named	False
ImmutabilityPeriod	Defines the immutability period in days. Default: 30. Maximum: 999.	Int32	False	Named	False
MountServerOptions	Specifies settings of a mount server for object storage repositories. Note: This parameter is required for object storage repositories that you want to add as performance extents to a scale-out backup repository.	Accepts the VBRRepositoryMountServerOptions object. To create this object, run the New-VBRRepositoryMountServerOptions cmdlet.	False	Named	False
EnableConcurrentTasksLimit	Enables limits for concurrent tasks that can be processed by the object storage repository. Use the MaxConcurrentTasks paramter to specify the number of tasks.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
MaxConcurrentTasks	Specifies a maximum number of concurrent tasks that can be processed at once by the object storage repository.	Int32	False	Named	False
ForceOwnershipChange	Defines that the cmdlet will force ownership change of the object storage folder. If you do not provide this parameter and the object storage folder is owned by another host, you will not be able to add object storage to the backup infrastructure.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
Force	Defines that the cmdlet will add an object storage repository without showing warnings in the PowerShell console.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False

This example shows how to add Veeam Data Cloud Vault to the backup infrastructure using a subscription.

$vault = Get-VBRVeeamDataCloudAssignedVault

$gateway = Get-VBRServer

Add-VBRDataCloudVaultRepository -Name "Vault2049" -Description "New Vault" -Vault $vault -Folder "Backups" -GatewayServer $gateway -ConnectionType Direct -ImmutabilityPeriod 14

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRVeeamDataCloudAssignedVault cmdlet. Save the result to the $vault variable.
Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Save the result to the $gateway variable.
Run the Add-VBRDataCloudVaultRepository cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

Specify the Name parameter value.
Specify the Description parameter value.
Set the $vault variable as the Vault parameter value.
Specify the Folder parameter value.
Set the $gateway variable as the GatewayServer parameter value.
Specify the ConnectionType parameter value.
Specify the ImmutabilityPeriod parameter value.

This example shows how to add Veeam Data Cloud Vault to the backup infrastructure using a service key, and map object storage repository to an existing folder.

$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-VBRDataCloudVaultRepository -AzureBlobFolder $folder[3] -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.

Note: You must specify the Global region to use a connection with Azure Blob storage and add a Veeam Data Cloud Vault.

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.

The Get-VBRAzureBlobFolder cmdlet will return an array of folders. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary folders (in our example, it is the fourth restore point in the array).

Run the Add-VBRDataCloudVaultRepository cmdlet. Set the $folder variable as the AzureBlobFolder parameter value. Set the $connect variable as the Connection parameter value.

This example shows how to add Veeam Data Cloud Vault to the backup infrastructure and map object storage repository to a new folder. The cmdlet will map object storage repository to the Images folder.

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

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

$container = Get-VBRAzureBlobContainer -Connection $connect

$folder = New-VBRAzureBlobFolder -Container $container -Connection $connect -Name "Images"

Add-VBRDataCloudVaultRepository -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 New-VBRAzureBlobFolder cmdlet. Specify the Container, Connection and Name parameter values. Save the result to the $folder variable.
Run the Add-VBRDataCloudVaultRepository cmdlet. Set the $folder variable as the AzureBlobFolder parameter value. Set the $connect variable as the Connection parameter value.
