Step 5. Specify Object Storage Class Settings

At the Storage Class step of the wizards, specify a storage class that you want assign to data blocks that you keep in Google Cloud object storage. For more information on Google Cloud object storage classes, see Google Documentation.

• Select the Standard option to assign the Standard storage class to data blocks. Use this option if you plan to access your data frequently and store it for a short period of time.
• Select the Nearline option to assign the Nearline storage class to data blocks. Use this option if you want to access data rarely (for example, once in a month or less) and plan to store data at least for 30 days.
• Select the Coldline option to assign the Coldline storage class to data blocks. Use this option if you plan to access data rarely (for example, once a quarter) and plan to store data minimum 90 days.
