Direct Restore to GCP Test Result

 Here is my lab environment test result on Direct Restore to GCP.

Note: Does not represent the real scenario. Recommend testing on your environment to get the exact result.

The below sharing is just for test purposes

Bandwidth used:

  • Download: 800Mbps
  • Upload: 200 Mbps

a) Restore from on-prem backup target to GCP

Using worker e2-micro

Using worker c2d-highcpu-2



b) Restore from GCP object storage to GCP

Using worker c2d-highcpu-2


Conclusion: 

  • More faster when backup data resides on GCP object storage
  • Changing to the higher spec of worker does not improve the restore speed
