Google Cloud Storage

Cloud storages have become a popular and easy option to store data. Many businesses owning such clouds want to have their backup data also to be hosted on cloud. Google Cloud is one such service offering cloud storage for its users and now it can be set as a BDRSuite’s primary backup repository for hosting their Backup data.

Step 1 : In the BDRSuite Backup Server, navigate to Backup Server tab -> Object Storage > Create New Object Storage Repository.

Step 2 : Enter the following details;

Repository Name : Give a Name to the repository you are creating

Repository Type : The repository you are creating can be Google Cloud storage.

Google Cloud : Choose the repository type if you want to use Google Cloud object storage to store the backup data. You have to provide your Google Cloud account credentials for the BDRSuite Backup Server to access the Google Cloud storage.
