Parameter

Description

Type

Required

Position

Accept Pipeline Input

AzureProxySpec

Specifies proxy appliance settings for adding Azure Archive repository.

Accepts the VBRAzureComputeProxyAppliance object. To create this object, run the New-VBRAzureComputeProxyAppliance cmdlet.

VBRAzureComputeProxyAppliance

False

Named

False

ConnectionType

Specifies how Veeam Backup & Replication will access the object storage repository:

  • Direct: Use this option if you want Veeam Backup & Replication to use a proxy server to transfer data from the processed VM to object storage repositories.
  • Gateway: Use this option if you want Veeam Backup & Replication to use a gateway server to transfer data from processed VM to object storage repositories. Note: Provide the GatewayServer parameter to specify the server.

Default: Direct.

VBRRepositoryConnectionType

False

Named

False

Description

Specifies a description of Azure Blob storage. The cmdlet will add Azure Blob storage to the backup infrastructure with this description.

String

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.

SwitchParameter

False

False

EnableCoolAccessTier

Defines that Veeam Backup & Replication will keep blocks of data in the Cool access tier.

Default: False.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

EnableSizeLimit

Defines that the cmdlet will enable size limits for an Azure Blob storage that you want to add as a backup repository.

Use the SizeLimit parameter to specify the size limits.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

Force

Defines that the cmdlet will modify an storage repository without showing warnings in the PowerShell console.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

GatewayServer

Specifies an array of gateway servers that you want to use to transfer data from processed VM to object storage repositories.

CHost[]

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

Defines the immutability period in days.

`` 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 [`VBRAzureBlobRepository`](vbrazureblobrepository.md) ## Examples ::: example ### Modifying Gateway Server Settings for Azure Blob Storage This example shows how to modify settings for a existing Azure Blob storage added as a backup repository. The cmdlet will use custom gateway servers to transfer data to Azure Blob storage. ``` $azure = Get-VBRObjectStorageRepository -Name "Azure Blob" $gateserv = Get-VBRServer -Name "north.tech.local", "north2.tech.local" Set-VBRAzureBlobRepository -Repository $azure -ConnectionType Gateway -GatewayServer $gateserv ``` Perform the following steps: 1. Run the [`Get-VBRObjectStorageRepository`](get-vbrobjectstoragerepository.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$azure` variable. 2. Run the [`Get-VBRServer`](get-vbrserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value Save the result to the `$gateserv` variable. 3. Run the `Set-VBRAzureBlobRepository` cmdlet. Set the `$azure` variable as the `Repository` parameter value. Set the `Gateway` value for the `ConnectionType` parameter. Set the `$gateserv` variable as the `GatewayServer` parameter value. ::: ## Related Commands - [`Get-VBRObjectStorageRepository`](get-vbrobjectstoragerepository.md) - [`Get-VBRServer`](get-vbrserver.md)
