Google Cloud Storage Bucket Backups/Restores

Question

Does anyone have backup/restore knowledge with Google Cloud Storage Buckets?

I have just created my first Project and first Bucket. Now I'd like to test backing up and restore, but I am being told to look for a 'Data' menu item in the left hand navigation section, within the Google Developers Console. There is no such 'Data' menu section at this time.

Has anyone used this technology before? I have an application that uploads files into a bucket, and now I need a backup strategy.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It isn't entirely clear from your question but I assume you want to back up the datastore from your app engine project to a GCS bucket.

You can do this with the old app engine console. On the left side there is a link Data->Datastore Admin. After clicking this you will see an option to backup the datastore to a bucket.

The new app engine console likely has this functionality as well but I still use the old one because I like it better and it has faster response.
