### Adding Backup Proxy Pool

This example shows how to add a backup proxy pool to the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 infrastructure.

```
$proxy1 = Get-VBOProxy -Hostname 172.70.53.53
$proxy2 = Get-VBOProxy -Hostname linux01
Add-VBOProxyPool -Name "Pool1" -Proxies ($proxy1, $proxy2)
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBOProxy`](get-vboproxy.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Hostname` parameter value. Save the result to the `$proxy1` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBOProxy`](get-vboproxy.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Hostname` parameter value. Save the result to the `$proxy2` variable.
3. Run the `Add-VBOProxyPool` cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Set the `$proxy1` and `$proxy2` variables as the `Proxies` parameter value.
