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.

n Note  If required, you can also perform a manual backup of any bucket at any time. For details, see “Performing manual backups”.
