Creating Backup Policies

You can create backup policies in the Veeam Backup for Google Cloud Web UI only. However, to create a backup policy, you must first launch the add policy wizard from the Veeam Backup & Replication console using either of the following options:

  • Switch to the Home tab, click Backup Job on the ribbon, navigate to GCP > GCP VM, GCP SQL or GCP PostgreSQL, and select the Veeam Backup for Google Cloud appliance on which you want to create the backup policy.
  • Open the Home view, right-click Jobs, navigate to Backup > GCP > GCP SQL or GCP PostgreSQL, and select the Veeam Backup for Google Cloud appliance on which you want to create the backup policy.

Veeam Backup & Replication will open the Add VM Policy or Add Cloud SQL Policy wizard in a web browser. Complete the wizard as described in the Veeam Backup for Google Cloud User Guide, section Creating VM Backup Policies or Creating Cloud SQL Backup Policies.
