Configuring Veeam Plug-In for Google Cloud

To start working with Veeam Plug-In for Google Cloud, perform a number of steps for its configuration:

Add backup appliances to the backup infrastructure.
Add repositories that will be used to store backed-up data.
Configure the added backup appliances:

Add service accounts to authorize requests to Google Cloud APIs.
Add projects and folders to get access to Google Cloud resources that you want to protect.
[Optional] Add users to control access to Veeam Plug-In for Google Cloud.
Create worker configurations.
[Optional] Configure global retention, email notification and Google authentication settings.

Note

Even after you add projects that manage your Google Cloud resources and configure all the necessary settings, Veeam Plug-In for Google Cloud will not populate the lists of VM, Cloud SQL and Cloud Spanner instances on the Resources page — unless you create backup policies and specify regions in which the instances reside, as described in sections Performing VM Backup, Performing SQL Backup and Performing Spanner Backup.
