To restore folders/files in Google Cloud Storage buckets, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Restore page and click the Google Cloud Storage tile.

2. In the Restore wizard, the calendar displays the data recovery points of Google Cloud Storage buckets by default. You choose whether to display the jobs finished with exceptions in the calendar by selecting the Include jobs with only partial backup data option.

3. Hover over the data recovery point to view the job details, including the job status, job start time, scope name, scope ID, job ID, backup size, and the number of objects in a backup.

4. Click the data recovery point that you want to use in the calendar. The objects backed up in the selected backup job are displayed in the table.

6. Click the bucket to drill down to the folder/files that you want to restore, select the object, and click Restore.

7. Select the folder or file that you want to restore and click Restore.

8. In the Restore options step, choose where would you like to restore the data, select Skip or Overwrite as the resolution if a conflict occurs during the restore, choose a mode you want to use to run the restore job, and then provide an optional description for further reference. If you choose to use the CAP Gateway mode, select a gateway from the drop-down list.

   • Where would you like to restore the data? - You can choose to restore the data to the original location or to a new location.

     • Restore the data to the original location - To restore the data to its original location, you must note that the folder/file in the original location will be overwritten.

       • Project - Select a project for the target folder/file.
