Creating Backup Policies

You can create backup policies in the Veeam Backup for Google Cloud Web UI only. However, you can launch the add policy wizard directly from the Veeam Backup & Replication console — to do that, use either of the following options:

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

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