Step 7. Enable Encryption

[This step applies only if you have selected the Restore to new location, or with different settings option at the Restore Mode step of the wizard]

At the Encryption step of the wizard, choose whether the restored persistent disks will be encrypted with Google Cloud Key Management Service (Cloud KMS) customer-managed encryption keys (CMEKs):

• If you do not want to encrypt the persistent disks or want to apply the existing encryption scheme, select the Use original encryption scheme option.
• If you want to encrypt the persistent disks, select the Use customer-managed encryption key from Google Cloud KMS option and choose the necessary CMEK from the Encryption key drop-down list.

For a CMEK to be displayed in the list of available encryption keys, it must be stored in the region selected at step 6 of the wizard.
