BDRSuite's Self-service Recovery option allows Google Workspace Organization users to directly restore their backup data from the BDRSuite web console using the Google account credentials. Users can view their backup information and recover their data when needed.

To enable self-service recovery, you need to first complete the necessary prerequisites to authenticate an end user to access Self-service Recovery.

Follow the steps below to enable Self-service Recovery for Google Workspace Organization Users:

1. Log in to the BDRSuite Server console.
   
2. Click on Microsoft 365/Google Workspace Tab: Navigate to Data Sources -> Add Google Workspace Organization page.
   
3. When adding an organization, enable the checkbox option - ‘Enable Google Workspace users to initiate self-service recovery from BDRSuite.’ and save the organization.

Note: If you have already added the organization, you can edit the organization and enable this option.

https://<BDRSuite Server Hostname/IPAddress.Domain name>:<Port>(or)https://<BDRSuite Server Hostname/IP address>.nip.io:<Port>.

1. Make sure you use the same URL you enter for the Redirect URI in Step 2: 4th Point
   
2. Make sure to enable an SSL certificate for BDRSuite, as HTTPS is used for signing into BDRSuite using Google Workspace account credentials. The default HTTPS port is 6061.
   

1: Sign in to the Google Cloud Console using administrative credentials

2: From the projects list, select a project or create a new one.

3: Create an OAuth Consent (Skip this step if OAuth Consent has already been created in the project).

3.1: On the left panel, click API Services > OAuth Consent Screen.

3.2: In the User type field, select the Internal option, and then click Create.

3.3: Enter the app name and your user support email address.

Note: The redirect URI must end with a public top-level domain, such as .com or .org.

You can use any of the following (4.4.1 or 4.4.2):

4.4.1 (Recommended): Set a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the hostname of the machine where BDRSuite Backup Server is installed. Ensure that the FQDN name is resolved by the DNS server. Provide that hostname as the authorized redirect URI.

(OR)

4.4.2: Add Authorized redirect URI as like in below format:

https://<BDRSuite Server IP>.nip.io:6061 (OR) https://<BDRSuite Server IP>.sslip.io:6061 Example : https://192.168.108.40.nip.io:6061

4.5: Finally, click the Create button. The Client ID and the Client Secret will be generated.

1. Navigate to Backup Server Tile -> Users page.
   
2. Click on the ‘Add User’ button which opens the Add User dialog box.
   
3. Choose the option ‘Google Workspace User’.
