Configure a private Google Cloud cold backup

Hello, despite my 2 external hard disks I almost lost my data, so I decided to create a Google Cloud cold backup to store them.

Google Cloud is much more technical then a normal cloud service and I need some tips to configure it correctly to take it fully private.

I tried to create the cheapest configuration My account is:

Is there anything else I should check to keep my data private? Thanks!

Why not use something like Backblaze? Much cheaper storage and much more user friendly.
- Thanks for your suggestion, I thought they was almost the same so I've chosen Google because I already have an account
How do you get the data on to the cloud storage? Maybe use something like restic, which can handle encryption, snapshots, etc.
- Hello, I just uploaded the files from my PC. I don't need anything else than keeping my files safe. No versioning or other features. I'll still use my hard drives for my data, but I want to have some of them stored safely "forever"
