You are required to already have a Google Cloud Storage account setup.
From the console (in GCS), you will configure, or use an existing Agent, to which you can assign a .p12 key. You will then use this key in your app setup.

The long and short ... you need the GCS account setup, with an existing project and bucket configured for use.

I am also having problems with this P12 malarky. I have creayed a Google a/c and have somehow created a profile and a backup job. So I thought I would check the restore process but it now will not recognise the profile I put in earlier, even though I can see under profiles and even edit it. It gives me the screen where it asks to upload the P12 file, which I thought was a file I downloaded with the suffix .json, but it doesn't like it.

So what is a P!2 file, whilst in my Google Clous dashboard I did a search for P12 but even Google don't know what it is.

Confused of Sidcup!
