Exporting User Data

You can get a copy of all the information provided to order and use the Transfer Appliance service. Follow the given steps to get the information.

  1. Within the Google Cloud Console, Click Activate Cloud Shell.

    Starting devshell from the menu bar.

  2. Run the export command:

    • Copy and paste the following command into the terminal. Make sure to replace {resource_name} with the actual appliance name. Appliance name can be found on the appliance details page of the ordered appliance on Google Cloud Console.

      curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://transferappliance.googleapis.com/v1alpha1/{resource_name}:export
      

Note that the data copied onto the Transfer Appliance won't be immediately accessible for export. It will only become available in the Cloud Storage bucket upon completion of the data transfer process.
