Feature Request for Restoring to GCP

Post by alojzije »

Hello,

When Veeam creates buckets in GCP, there is an issue where GCP buckets only allow up to 63 characters. They will allow up to 222 character length names but only if there are dots in the name, and each string length between "." are 63 characters.

We have a project name called "internal-infrastructure-XXXXXXX" which is quite long. When we try to restore to it, most VMs fail because the buckets it creates have character lengths that are too long as it includes project name, region, vm name. It is not reasonable for us to change it as things depend on that project name.

This is not a fix that support can do but rather something to change in the code. Could I please recommend that the coders change the way Veeam creates bucket names to include dots "." in certain places instead of dashes "-" so we can have the ability to restore to project names that are quite long?

Hello Alojz

I tested the restore in our lab, and the bucket created in GCP didn't included project, region and VM Name. It had the name veeamrestorebucket-************.
May I ask which version of Veeam Backup & Replication you have?

Best,
