Examples

Adding Object Storage Backup Job

This example shows how add the Azure OS Job object storage backup job.

$server = Get-VBRUnstructuredServer -Name "Azure 01"

$object = New-VBRObjectStorageBackupJobObject -Server $serv -Container "Monthly Backups" -Path "Reports"

$repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "WinSrv2017"

Add-VBRObjectStorageBackupJob -BackupObject $object -Name "Azure OS Job" -ShortTermBackupRepository $repository

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VBRUnstructuredServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $server variable.
  2. Run the New-VBRObjectStorageBackupJobObject cmdlet. Specify the Server, Container, Day and Path parameter values. Save the result to the $object variable.
  3. Run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $repository variable.
  4. Run the Add-VBRObjectStorageBackupJob cmdlet. Set the $object variable as the BackupObject parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value. Set the $repository variable as the ShortTermBackupRepository parameter value.
