Hi @dika

Not natively. Have you tried adding it in using the S3 Compatible option?

Yeah, as Dips said you need to add it using S3 Compatible option.  It is not native like the other Object vendors that show on the screen.

Hi,

Just be aware if you pursue that option, Google Cloud Storage is only validated for VBR, not VB365. It might be worth a quick conversation with Veeam Support or a Technical Account Manager to determine if there are any reasons it isn’t on the list.

Hi Dika,

GCP is not supported for now.  They are using different approach how to read/write blocks within their storage which result in a veeeeeeeery slow backup performance. This is sadly nothing we can change because it is not in our hands. Google is aware about this topic but they need to change their compete googe storage concept for this and im sure they will not do this in a foreseeable tim. Some companys were using MinIO with GCP in the background, but this is also not longer available. To keep it short: Better look for something else :-)
