Auf dieser Seite wird beschrieben, wie Sie virtuelle Maschinen (VMs) sichern und dabei die Prinzipien für Air-Gap-Sicherungen und ‑Wiederherstellungen von Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) einhalten.
Außerdem enthält es eine Anleitung zum Aufrufen einer Liste von VM-Sicherungen und zum Löschen vorhandener VM-Sicherungen.
Die erforderlichen Identitäts- und Zugriffsrollen:
Project VirtualMachine Admin: Verwaltet VMs im Projekt-Namespace. Bitten Sie Ihren Projekt-IAM-Administrator, Ihnen die Rolle „Projekt-VM-Administrator“ (project-vm-admin) zuzuweisen.
Backup Creator: Erstellt manuelle Sicherungen und führt Wiederherstellungen durch. Bitten Sie Ihren Projekt-IAM-Administrator, Ihnen die Rolle „Backup Creator“ (backup-creator) zuzuweisen.
Projektbetrachter: Hat schreibgeschützten Zugriff auf alle Ressourcen in Projekt-Namespaces. Bitten Sie Ihren Projekt-IAM-Administrator, Ihnen die Rolle „Projektbetrachter“ (project-viewer) zuzuweisen.
VMs manuell sichern
Sie können VMs entweder über die GDC-Konsole oder die API sichern.
Console
Melden Sie sich in der GDC-Konsole an.
Klicken Sie im Navigationsmenü auf Sicherung für virtuelle Maschinen.
Wählen Sie ein Projekt aus.
Klicken Sie auf den Tab Sicherungen.
Klicken Sie auf Sicherung erstellen.
Wählen Sie im Feld Quell-VM die VM aus, die Sie sichern möchten.
Geben Sie einen Namen für die Sicherung ein.
Wählen Sie im Feld Sicherungsplan den Sicherungsplan aus, für den Sie eine Sicherung erstellen möchten.
Klicken Sie auf Erstellen.
API
Senden Sie eine Sicherungsanfrage für die virtuelle Maschine, um eine Sicherung zu starten:

A manual backup must reference an existing backup plan for the backup configuration.\n- The necessary identity and access roles:\n\n - Project VirtualMachine Admin: manages VMs in the project namespace. Ask your Project IAM Admin to grant you the Project VirtualMachine Admin (`project-vm-admin`) role.\n - Backup Creator: creates manual backups and restores. Ask your Project IAM Admin to grant you the Backup Creator (`backup-creator`) role.\n - Project Viewer: has read-only access to all resources within project namespaces. Ask your Project IAM Admin to grant you the Project Viewer (`project-viewer`) role.\n\nManually back up VMs\n--------------------\n\nBack up VMs using either the GDC console or the API. \n\n### Console\n\n1.
