Getting Started with Application Consistent Backups Using GC Snapshots

To get started with application consistent backups using Google Cloud, review requirements and permissions,create a client, and then configure a subclient for the agent to perform the backups and restores.

Step 1: Review Requirements and Permissions

Begin by reviewing the systems requirements and necessary permissions for deploying the Virtual Server Agent (VSA) on Google Cloud.

• System Requirements

• Service Account Permissions

Step 2: Create a Commvault Client

1. Create a client.

   Data to back up	Type of client to create	More information
   GC compute VSA	VSA	GC virtual client
   DB2	DB2	DB2
   Microsoft SQL Server	Microsoft SQL Server	Microsoft SQL Server
   MongoDB	MongoDB	MongoDB
   MySQL	MySQL	MySQL
   Oracle	Oracle	Oracle
   SAP HANA	SAP HANA	SAP HANA
   UNIX file system	File system	UNIX File System

2. Add GCP in Array Management.

Step 3: Configure Snapshot Backups in the Subclient

To configure snapshot backups in the subclient, see the information for the agent that you are going to deploy:

• DB2

• Google Cloud Storage Objects or Buckets

• Microsoft SQL Server

• MongoDB

• MySQL

• Oracle

• SAP HANA

• UNIX File System
