Back up client data and the server database to Google Cloud Storage

With IBM Spectrum® Protect Version 8.1.11, you can back up client data and the server database to the Google Cloud Storage service. Because Google Cloud Storage is scalable and can be used as a target for automatic data tiering, you can use the service to simplify data management.

When you configure a cloud-container storage pool to use Google Cloud Storage, you can encrypt the data that you back up and take advantage of lower-cost storage tiers for specified data. In case of a disaster, you can restore the server database and client data from Google Cloud Storage.
