Parameters

Parameters
Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Account	Specifies Microsoft Azure credentials records. The cmdlet will use these credentials record to connect to object storage. Accepts the `VBRAzureBlobAccount` object. To get this object, run the `Get-VBRAzureBlobAccount` cmdlet.	`VBRAzureBlobAccount`	True	Named	False
BackupIOControlLevel	Specifies a speed that Veeam Backup & Replication will use to read data from object storage. You can specify either of the following speed: `Lowest` `Low` `Medium` `High` `Highest`	`VBRUnstructuredBackupIOControlLevel`	False	Named	False
CacheRepository	Specifies the cache repository. Veeam Backup & Replication will keep the .VCACHE files on this repository. Accepts the `CBackupRepository` object. To get this object, run the `Get-VBRBackupRepository` cmdlet.	`CBackupRepository`	True	Named	False
FriendlyName	Specify a name that you want to assign to the object storage.	`String`	True	Named	True (ByValue)
ProxyMode	Specifies the backup proxy options. `Automatic`: use this option if you want Veeam Backup & Replication to choose the backup proxy that will process object storage. `SelectedProxy`: use this option if you want to specify the backup proxy that will process object storage. Use the `SelectedProxyServer` parameter to specify the backup proxy.	`VBRNASProxyMode`	False	Named	False
RegionType	Specifies the region type of Microsoft Azure storage. The cmdlet will connect to the selected region type and will set up a connection with Microsoft Azure storage. You can select the following types of regions: `Global` `Government` `China`	`VBRAzureBlobRegionType`	True	Named	False
SelectedProxyServer	For the `SelectedProxy` option of the `ProxyMode` parameter. Specifies the backup proxy. Veeam Backup & Replication will use this backup proxy to back up Microsoft Azure object storage. Accepts the `VBRNASProxyServer[]` object. To get this object, run the `Get-VBRNASProxyServer` cmdlet.	`VBRNASProxyServer[]`	False	Named	False
UseChangeFeed	Defines that the cmdlet will use the blob change feed option for the Microsoft Azure object storage. Note: You must enable this option beforehand for your storage account. For more information, see Microsoft Docs.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False

Examples

Adding Microsoft Azure Data Lake as Unstructured Data Source

This example shows how to add Microsoft Azure Data Lake object storage as unstructured data source to the inventory.

$creds = Add-VBRAzureBlobAccount -Name "string" -SharedKey "string"

$cacherepository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "WinSrv"

Add-VBRAzureStorageServer -FriendlyName "Azure Blob" -Account $creds -RegionType Global -CacheRepository $cacherepository

Perform the following steps:

Run the Add-VBRAzureBlobAccount cmdlet. Specify the Name and the SharedKey parameters values. Save the result to the $creds variable.
Run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $cacherepository variable.
Run the Add-VBRAzureStorageServer cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
- Specify the FriendlyName parameter value.
- Set the $creds variable as the Account parameter value.
- Set the Global option for the RegionType parameter.
- Set the $cacherepository variable as the CacheRepository parameter value.
