Backup and DR

Google Cloud Compute Infrastructure

Hi Team,

We want to automate the process of adding the new compute en handgine VMs to the backup and Dr appliance

We have created seperate logical groups for each project and applied the backup template on each of these at the logical group level

Is there a way to automate the process of adding the newl discovered instance to the logical group through script as we dont want to handle this from the management console

We are aware of https://github.com/Actifio/AGMPowerCLI/blob/main/UsageExamples.md#compute-engine-instance-onboarding-automation but this doesnot talk about adding instances to a particular logical group or creating a logical logical via commands

Anyone has ever tried automating this

With the new ‘Automatic BackupDR Protection with Google Cloud Tags’ feature, you can easily use Google Cloud tags to create backup policies for your Compute Engine VMs. For more information refer

Hi Rajesh,

When trying to create the profile for dynamic protection tags the templates are getting listed but the profiles are not. Does anything needs to be checked?

To create, update, and delete Dynamic Protection Tags, you need to have one of the following roles:

  • Backup and DR Admin
  • Backup and DR Backup User
  • Backup and DR User V2
  • Project Editor
  • Project Owner
  • a custom role that includes the following permissions:

Required permissions

  • backupdr.managementServers.listDynamicProtection
  • backupdr.managementServers.getDynamicProtection
  • backupdr.managementServers.createDynamicProtection
  • backupdr.managementServers.deleteDynamicProtection
  • `compute.instances.listEffectiveTags```

Ensure the Backup Appliance is running a supported version and is the Standard type for Compute Engine VMs
