Parameters

Parameters
Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
AmazonS3Folder	Specifies an S3 compatible folder. Veeam Backup & Replication will store backup files in this folder. Accepts the `VBRAmazonS3Folder` object. To get this object, run the `Get-VBRAmazonS3Folder` cmdlet.	`VBRAmazonS3Folder`	True	Named	True (ByValue)
Connection	Specifies an active session with S3 compatible object storage. The cmdlet will add it as a backup repository. Accepts the `VBRAmazonS3CompatibleConnection` object. To get this object, run the `Connect-VBRAmazonS3CompatibleService` cmdlet and set the `CapacityTier` property as the `ServiceType` parameter value.	`VBRAmazonS3CompatibleConnection`	True	Named	False
Description	Specifies a description of an object storage repository. The cmdlet will add the object storage repository with this description.	`String`	False	Named	False
EnableBackupImmutability	Defines that the cmdlet will enable the immutability option. Default: False.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
EnableConcurrentTasksLimit	Enables limits for concurrent tasks that can be processed by the object storage repository. Use the `MaxConcurrentTasks` parameter to specify the number of tasks. Default: `False`.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
EnableReadOnlyMode	Defines that the cmdlet will add the object storage repository in the read-only mode. If you enable this option, Veeam Backup & Replication will not write or modify data in the object storage repository. You can use the object storage repository for restore operations only. Default: `False`.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
EnableSizeLimit	Enables size limits for data blocks that you want to store in an object storage. Use the `SizeLimit` parameter to specify the size limits. Default: `False`.	`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
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. Default: `False`.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
ImmutabilityMode	Specifies the immutability retention period: `BackupRetention`: Use this option if you want the immutability period to depend on the backup job retention. `RepositoryRetention`: Use this option if you want to ignore the job retention and specify the immutability period explicitly.	`VBRRepositoryImmutabilityMode`	False	Named	False
ImmutabilityPeriod	Specifies the immutability period in days. Default: 30.	`Int32`	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
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.	`VBRRepositoryMountServerOptions[]`	False	Named	True (ByPropertyName)
Name	Specifies a name of an object storage repository. The cmdlet will add the object storage repository with this name.	`String`	False	Named	False
ProxyAppliance	Specifies a helper appliance. Veeam Backup & Replication will use this appliance to perform a health check of backup files and apply retention to file backup job files.	`CHost`	False	Named	False
SizeLimit	For the `EnableSizeLimit` parameter. Specifies size limits in GB for data blocks that you want to store in an object storage. Permitted value: `1024`–`1073741824`. Default: `10240`.	`Int32`	False	Named	False

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see Microsoft Docs.

Examples

Adding IBM Cloud Object Storage Repository to Backup Infrastructure

PS C:\> $account = Get-VBRAmazonAccount

$connect = Connect-VBRAmazonS3Service -Account $account[1] -RegionType Global -ServiceType CapacityTier

$bucket = Get-VBRAmazonS3Bucket -Connection $connect -Name "Bucket-01"

$folder = Get-VBRAmazonS3Folder -Name "bucket" -Bucket $bucket -Connection $connect

Add-VBRIBMCloudRepository -Name "IBM Cloud" -Connection $connect -AmazonS3Folder $folder -EnableSizeLimit -SizeLimit 1024

This example shows how to add the IBM Cloud object storage repository to the backup infrastructure. The repository will have the following settings:
The object storage limits are enabled and are set to 1024 GB.
The infrequent access storage class is enabled.

Perform the following steps:
1. Run the Get-VBRAmazonAccount cmdlet. Save the result to the $account variable.
2. Run the Connect-VBRAmazonS3Service cmdlet. Specify the Account, RegionType and ServiceType parameter values. Save the result to the $connect variable.
3. Run the Get-VBRAmazonS3Bucket cmdlet. Set the $connect variable as the Connection parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $bucket variable.
4. Run the Get-VBRAmazonS3Folder cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Set the $bucket variable as the Bucket parameter value. Set the $connect variable as the Connection parameter value. Save the result to the $folder variable.
5. Run the Add-VBRIBMCloudRepository cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
- Specify the Name parameter value.
- Set the $connect variable as the Connection parameter value.
- Set the $folder variable as the AmazonS3Folder parameter value.
- Provide the EnableSizeLimit parameter.
- Provide the SizeLimit parameter value.
