Backing up buckets

With HYCU for Google Cloud, you can back up data that is stored in Google Cloud Storage buckets in a fast and efficient way.

Prerequisite

Only if you plan to back up buckets for which a Shared VPC subnet is specified in configuration. Your user account or the HYCU Managed Service Account (HMSA) must be granted the following permissions in the Shared VPC host project: compute.firewalls.list, compute.networks.list, compute.networks.get, compute.subnetworks.list, compute.subnetworks.use, and compute.subnetworks.get.

Consideration

The information on the bucket size becomes available in the Detail view after you assign a policy to the bucket. Keep in mind that this size is always rounded up to the full unit, the minimum being 1 GiB.

Procedure

1. In the Buckets panel, select the buckets that you want to back up. You can update the bucket list by clicking  Synchronize.

   t Tip  To narrow down the list of displayed buckets, you can use the filtering options as described in “Filtering and sorting data in panels”.

2. Click  Policies. The Policies dialog box opens.

3. From the list of available policies, select the desired policy.

4. Click Assign to assign the policy to the selected buckets.

After you assign a policy to a bucket, a backup task starts immediately. Subsequent backups are scheduled according to the values defined in the policy.
