Cloud Storage: Restore a Bucket

Find the snapshot you want to restore

1. In your inventory, select the Google Cloud Storage bucket you want to restore. The Resource details panel opens.

2. Click the Eon snapshots tab. You’ll see a calendar view with colored dots on the days when snapshots were taken. There can be more than one snapshot per day.

   When you click a day, a list of Eon snapshots taken that day is displayed below the calendar.

3. When you find the snapshot you want to restore, click Restore. The Restore GCS wizard opens.

Choose the restore account

In the Restore GCS wizard, you’re taken through a two-step process. The first step is to choose a restore account.

Choose the cloud account you want to restore to, and then click Next.

Set the restored bucket and prefix details

In the Configuration step, you’ll set the restored data details.

1. Select the destination bucket you want to restore to. The bucket needs to exist already, and the restore account needs to have IAM permissions that grant write access to the bucket. The bucket doesn’t need to be empty.

2. Optionally, you can provide a Prefix if you want to restore the data to a specific location in the bucket. If you don’t provide a prefix, the data is restored to the bucket root.

   If there are naming conflicts with existing objects, Eon overwrites the existing data. Use a unique prefix to avoid overwrites.

3. Click Start to start the asynchronous restore job.

Monitor the restore job

You can see your list of restore jobs on the Restore jobs tab in the Jobs page.
