Google Cloud Storage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Restic supports Google Cloud Storage as a backend. In order for this to work
you first need create a "service account" and download the JSON key file for
it. In addition, you need the Google Project ID that you can see in the Google
Cloud Platform console at the "Storage/Settings" menu. Export the path to the
JSON credentials file and the project ID as follows:
.. code-block:: console
$ export GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID=123123123123
$ export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=$HOME/.config/gs-secret-restic-key.json
Then you can use the ``gs:`` backend type to create a new repository in the
bucket `foo` at the root path:
.. code-block:: console
$ restic -r gs:foo:/ init
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
created restic backend bde47d6254 at gs:restic-dev-an:foo2
[...]
The number of concurrent connections to the GCS service can be set with the
`-o gs.connections=10`. By default, at most five parallel connections are
established.
