Configuring Google Cloud as a Backup Repository

Cloud storages have become a popular and easy option to store data. Many businesses owning such clouds want to have their backup data also to be hosted on cloud. Google Cloud is one such service offering cloud storage for its users and now it can be set as a BDRSuite’s primary backup repository for hosting their Backup data.
