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.
