Backups (GCP)

Overview

This article describes how to backup your Matillion ETL instance using GCP's Snapshot feature. For the full GCP documentation see Creating Snapshots and Restoring Snapshots.

Method

1. Log in to your GCP account at the GCP Console.

2. From the main menu, browse to Compute Engine → Snapshots.

3. Click Create Snapshot

4. Select the Source Disk for the instance you wish to backup.

5. Give the Snapshot a name and description of your choosing.
