Google Cloud Storage

Edit online

IBM will, by default, automatically store your backup data in the archive storage class to help reduce storage costs. It is not recommended to enable the AutoClass feature in your storage, as any requests to change the storage class will fail and may result in additional costs.

Note the following:
  • The following permissions are required for the Google Cloud Storage. For permission details, refer to IAM permissions for Cloud Storage.
    • storage.buckets.get
    • storage.objects.list
    • storage.objects.create
    • storage.objects.delete
    • storage.objects.get
Follow the instructions below.
  1. Storagetype – Select Google Cloud Storage from the drop-down list.
  2. Bucket name – Enter the bucket name you wish to access.
    Note: The entered name must match an existing bucket. If no bucket is available, refer to Creating a bucket to create one.
  3. Service account key (.json) – Click the Browse button to select and upload a service account key file in JSON format that has been generated in the Google Cloud Storage platform. To create a service account and a service account key, refer to Create a service account and Create a service account key.
