## Output Object
[`VBRRepositoryMountServerOptions`](vbrrepositorymountserveroptions.md)

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Defining Settings for Default Mount Server

This command defines settings for a backup server that Veeam Backup & Replication will use as the mount server. Save the result to a variable to use with other cmdlets.

```
$mountoptions = New-VBRRepositoryMountServerOptions -EnableVPowerNFS -MountFolder "C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\IRCache\"
```

:::

::: example
### Example 2. Defining Settings for Specific Mount Server

This example shows how to define settings for the `WinSrv2047` mount server.

```
$server = Get-VBRServer -Name "WinSrv2047"
$mountoptions = New-VBRRepositoryMountServerOptions -MountServer $server -EnableVPowerNFS -MountFolder "C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\IRCache\"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRServer`](get-vbrserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$server` variable.
2. Run the `New-VBRRepositoryMountServerOptions` cmdlet. Set the `$server` variable as the `MountServer` parameter value. Provide the `EnableVPowerNFS` parameter. Specify the `MountFolder` parameter value.

   Save the result to the `$mountoptions` variable to use with other cmdlets.

::: example
### Example 3. Disabling Veeam PowerNFS Settings for Specific Mount Server

This example shows how to define settings for the `WinSrv2047` mount server. The Veeam PowerNFS option will be disabled.

```
$server = Get-VBRServer -Name "WinSrv2047"
$mountoptions = New-VBRRepositoryMountServerOptions -MountServer $server -EnableVPowerNFS:$false -MountFolder "C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\IRCache\"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRServer`](get-vbrserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$server` variable.
2. Run the `New-VBRRepositoryMountServerOptions` cmdlet. Set the `$server` variable as the `MountServer` parameter value. Provide the `:$false` value for the `EnableVPowerNFS` parameter. Specify the `MountFolder` parameter value.

   Save the result to the `$mountoptions` variable to use with other cmdlets.
