Appendix. Configuring Deployment Mode

By default, worker instances launched by Veeam Backup for Google Cloud access protected Google Cloud resources through private virtual networks. The only exception is worker instances deployed during file-lever restore operations to access the File-Level Restore browser.

If you do not plan to perform file-level recovery or if you plan to access the browser through private networks only, do the following:

Connect to the backup appliance through SSH as described in Google Cloud documentation.

Edit the FlrPerformer value in the /opt/veeam/gcpbackup/JobManagerSettings.json configuration file:

"FlrPerformer": {

"DisableWorkerPublicIp": true

}

If you want your worker instances to be deployed as Shielded VMs, edit the Worker value in the /opt/veeam/gcpbackup/ServiceSettings.json configuration file, and restart the veeambackup service:

"Worker": {

"EnableVtpm": true,

"EnableIntegrityMonitoring": true

}

If you want your worker instances to be deployed with public IP addresses, add the SqlWorker parameter to the /opt/veeam/gcpbackup/ServiceSettings.json configuration file:

"SqlWorker": {

"AllowExternalIp": true

}
