## Examples

::: example
### Defining Objects to Exclude from Object Storage Backup Job

This example shows how to exclude the `Path Reports/.pdf` from object storage backup job.

```
$serv = Get-VBRUnstructuredServer -Name "Azure OS"
$object = New-VBRObjectStorageBackupJobObject -Server $serv -Container "Monthly Backups" -Path "Reports"
$ExclusionMask = New-VBRObjectStorageBackupContainerPathMask -Container "Monthly Backups" -Path Reports/.pdf'
Set-VBRObjectStorageBackupJobObject -JobObject $object -ExclusionMask $ExclusionMask
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRUnstructuredServer`](get-vbrunstructuredserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$serv` variable.
2. Run the [`New-VBRObjectStorageBackupJobObject`](new-vbrobjectstoragebackupjobobject.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Server`, `Container` and the `Path` parameter values. Save the result to the `$object` variable.
3. Run the [`New-VBRObjectStorageBackupContainerPathMask`](new-vbrobjectstoragebackupcontainerpathmask.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Container` and the `Path` parameter values. Save the result to the `$ExclusionMask` variable.
4. Run the `Set-VBRObjectStorageBackupJobObject` cmdlet. Set the `$object` variable as the `JobObject` parameter value. Set the `$ExclusionMask` variable as the `ExclusionMask` parameter value.
