Name	Specifies a name of Amazon S3 object storage repository. The cmdlet will add an object storage repository with this name.	String	True	Named	False
Description	Specifies a description of Amazon S3 object storage repository. The cmdlet will add an object storage repository with this description.	String	False	Named	False
SizeLimit	Specifies a soft limit in GB for the object storage repository consumption that can be exceeded temporarily. If the specified limit is exceeded, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 will not run a new job. Permitted values: 1024–1073741824. Default: 1024 Note: In PowerShell you can specify a soft limit in GB only.	UInt64	False	Named	False
EnableImmutability	Defines that the cmdlet will add the object storage repository to the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 infrastructure with the immutability feature enabled. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 allows you to prohibit deletion of data from the object storage repository by making that data temporarily immutable and to protect data against malware activity. For more information about the immutability feature, see the Immutability section of the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 User Guide. Default: False	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
ImmutabilityPeriodDays	Specifies the number of days when your data will be blocked for deletion or modification. Note: If you set the null or 0 value, data will be blocked for deletion or modification for the same period as the retention period.	Int32	False	Named	False
EnableIAStorageClass	Defines that the cmdlet will enable the Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access storage class for data blocks that are stored in Amazon S3 object storage repository. Default: False	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
ArchiverAppliance	Specifies the Amazon archiver appliance. The cmdlet will use this archiver appliance when transferring backed-up data between different instances of the general purpose object storage repositories (Amazon S3 Standard, Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access and Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access storage classes) or to any of Amazon S3 Glacier object storage repositories (Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval and Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive storage classes) during backup copy jobs.	Accepts the VBOAmazonArchiverAppliance object. To create this object, run the New-VBOAmazonArchiverAppliance cmdlet.	False	Named	False
EnableLongTerm	Defines that the cmdlet will enable adding an object storage repository of one of the following storage classes: Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive Default: False	SwitchParameter	True	Named	False
EnableGlacierDeepArchive	Defines that the cmdlet will enable the Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive storage class. Default: False	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
EnableGlacierInstantRetrieval	Defines that the cmdlet will enable the Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval storage class. Default: False	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the About CommonParameters section of Microsoft Docs.
