how to add "Veeam - External Google Cloud Store" while using "Google Private Service Connect"

[zercho05]

Dear Veeam Community,
I am trying to connect a Google Cloud Storage to a Veeam VBR instance.
We would like to use 2-6 Veeam Gateway servers.

in the wizard I can not give any details about where to connect to. (It seems it's hard coded to use the Public google API)

The Problem is now that we are using a so called "Google Private Service Connect" where the entry Point to the Google Cloud is on Prem, and not in the public WWW.

I have found this article but it seems this is only related to Google S3 Storage and not the Google Cloud Storage.

The "Google Private Service Connect" seems to be only used for "Bigger" customers who want to have a dedicated entry point into the Cloud.

Can anyone shed some light on this? I am a bit confused.

Hi Stefan,

Just to clarify, you want to add an External Google repository that keeps backups made with Veeam Backup for Google, right? Because that's the sole purpose of adding google repository via the external repository way. You do not intend to keep there backups made with VBR?

Also, I might be not understanding your scenario entirely, but Private Service Connect is used to provide private endpoints between different Google Cloud VPC. And what you are describing with on-premise more likely falls under Private Google Access scope.

Best regards,
Oleg
