`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7).

## Output Object
The cmdlet returns the `VBRObjectStorageBackupJobObject` object that contains a scope of objects that will be added to the object storage backup job.

## Examples

::: example
### Defining Scope of Objects to Back up with Object Storage Backup Job

This example shows how to define a scope of objects that will be added to the object storage backup job. The cmdlet will add objects from the `Montly backup` container that are located within the `Reports` folder.

```
$serv = Get-VBRUnstructuredServer -Name "Azure OS"
$object = New-VBRObjectStorageBackupJobObject -Server $serv -Container "Monthly Backups" -Path "Reports"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRUnstructuredServer`](get-vbrunstructuredserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$serv` variable.
2. Run the `New-VBRObjectStorageBackupJobObject` cmdlet. Set the `$serv` variable as the `Server` parameter value. Specify the `Container` parameter value. Specify the `Path` parameter value. Save the result to the `$object` variable.
