## Output Object
This cmdlet returns the `VBRObjectStorageRepository` object that contains settings of the mounted object storage repositories.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Mounting Object Storage Repository

This example shows how to mount the `Amazon OS` object storage repository

```
$repository = Get-VBRObjectStorageRepository -Name "Amazon OS"
Mount-VBRObjectStorageRepository -Repository $repository
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRObjectStorageRepository`](get-vbrobjectstoragerepository.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$repository` variable.
2. Run the `Mount-VBRObjectStorageRepository` cmdlet. Set the `$repository` variable as the `Repository` parameter value.

::: example
### Example 2. Mounting Object Storage Repository with Encryption Key

This example shows how to mount the `Amazon OS` object storage repository. The cmdlet will use the `Object Storage Key` encryption key to decrypt the data stored on the object storage repository.

```
$repository = Get-VBRObjectStorageRepository -Name "Amazon OS"
$key = Get-VBREncryptionKey -Description "Object Storage Key"
Mount-VBRObjectStorageRepository -Repository $repository -EncryptionKey $key
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRObjectStorageRepository`](get-vbrobjectstoragerepository.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$repository` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBREncryptionKey`](get-vbrencryptionkey.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Description` parameter. Save the result to the `$key` variable.
3. Run the `Mount-VBRObjectStorageRepository` cmdlet. Set the `$repository` variable as the `Repository` parameter value. Set the `$key` variable as the `EncryptionKey` parameter value.
