How to Do Full Server Restore to Google Cloud VM with MSP360 Backup<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. First things first, launch MSP360 Backup and add your Google Cloud Platform account. Note that you can use your Google Cloud Storage (just like any other) to store your image-based backup<\/a> prior to restoring. It\u2019s even easier that way since you essentially have the same account. Click Add Account.\"CloudBerry<\/li>\n
  2. Select Google Cloud. Specify the preferred display name, authentication method, project ID, and bucket name. Ensure that the Request Google Cloud Platform scopes checkbox is selected so that MSP360 Backup can communicate with Google Cloud Platform. Click OK.\"Google<\/li>\n
  3. An alert will pop up asking if you want to recover another computer or back up this computer. We\u2019re just gonna select Backup this computer. Click OK.\"Pop-up<\/li>\n
  4. Now let\u2019s proceed to restore our backups. Click Restore to Google VM.\"Click<\/li>\n
  5. Commence setting up the plan. Select the requisite cloud storage that contains your backup and click Next.\"CloudBerry<\/li>\n
  6. Continue fine-tuning the plan until you\u2019re prompted to select the Google Data Type. You have the options to create a new Google Machine Image, restore your backup as a Google Data disk, or restore as a Google instance.\"CloudBerry<\/li>\n
  7. Now you need to specify the Google VM Instance details. Select your account, enter a name, select the zone, machine type, disk type, and Subnet. \u0421lick Next.\"CloudBerry<\/li>\n
  8. Using a temporary instance can expedite the process; however, bear in mind that extra fees will be applied (the rates vary depending on the machine type you select). Also, you cannot use a temporary instance if the source storage is your local file system. Click Next.\"CloudBerry<\/li>\n
  9. The temporary instance details will most likely be specified for you; although, we do recommend selecting the first option in the OS Image drop-down menu. Click Next.\"CloudBerry<\/li>\n
  10. Conclude setting up the plan and click Finish. Then execute the plan and wait for it to complete.\"CloudBerry<\/li>\n
  11. Having done that, expect the instance to appear on your Google Cloud Platform panel. Now you're good to go.\"Google<\/li>\n
  12. Click Start\u00a0to launch your virtual machine. Then download the RDP file and start using your virtual machine. If you encounter any connection issues, please\u00a0check your firewall rules.\"Google<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
