## Output Object
[`VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration`](vbrgooglecloudcomputediskconfiguration.md)

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Defining Storage Volume Settings for Computer

This example shows how to define standard persistent storage volume for a computer disk backed-up with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows.

```
$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Windows Servers Backup"
$restorePoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$diskNames = Get-VBRComputerDisk -RestorePoint $restorePoint
$diskConfig = New-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration -DiskName $diskNames[0].UniqueId -DiskType StandardPersistent
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackup`](get-vbrbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRRestorePoint`](get-vbrrestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Backup` parameter value.
3. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Sort-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/sort-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Set the `CreationTime` value for the `Property` parameter. Provide the `Descending` parameter.
4. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Select-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/select-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Specify the `First` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorePoint` variable.
5. Run the [`Get-VBRComputerDisk`](get-vbrcomputerdisk.md) cmdlet. Set the `$restorePoint` value for the `RestorePoint` parameter. Save the result to the `$diskNames` variable.
6. Run the `New-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration` cmdlet. Specify the following:

   1. Set the `$diskNames[0].UniqueId` variable as the `DiskName` parameter value.
   2. Specify the `DiskType` parameter value.
   3. Save the result to the `$diskConfig` variable.

### Example 2. Defining Storage Volume Settings for Hyper-V VMs

This example shows how to define standard persistent storage volume for a disk of a Microsoft Hyper-V VM.

```
$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "VM Backup Job"
$restorePoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$diskConfig = New-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration -DiskName $restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].TargetFilePath -DiskType StandardPersistent
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackup`](get-vbrbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRRestorePoint`](get-vbrrestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Backup` parameter value.
3. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Sort-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/sort-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Set the `CreationTime` value for the `Property` parameter. Provide the `Descending` parameter.
4. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Select-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/select-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Specify the `First` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorePoint` variable.
5. Run the `New-VBRAmazonEC2DiskConfiguration` cmdlet. Specify the following:

   1. Set the `$restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].TargetFilePath` variable as the `DiskName` parameter value.
   2. Specify the `DiskType` parameter value.
   3. Save the result to the `$diskConfig` variable.

### Example 3. Defining Storage Volume Settings for Other Workloads

This example shows how to define standard persistent storage volume for for a disk of a workload other than computers backed-up with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. This example shows how to do it for a VMware vSphere VM.

```
$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "VM Backup Job"
$restorePoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$diskConfig = New-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration -DiskName $restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].FileName -DiskType StandardPersistent
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackup`](get-vbrbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRRestorePoint`](get-vbrrestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Backup` parameter value.
3. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Sort-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/sort-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Set the `CreationTime` value for the `Property` parameter. Provide the `Descending` parameter.
4. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Select-Object`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/select-object?view=powershell-7) cmdlet. Specify the `First` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorePoint` variable.
5. Run the `New-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration` cmdlet. Specify the following:

   1. Set the `$restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].FileName` variable as the `DiskName` parameter value.
   2. Specify the `DiskType` parameter value.
   3. Save the result to the `$diskConfig` variable.
