Answer 1

The steps are straightworfard

1. make sure binlog is activated
2. locate the binlog file
3. stop the Beanstalkd instance, for fully graceful shutdown, so binlog file should be flushed
4. upload to Cloud Storage, (either using the Console or using gcloud utility)
5. on the Compute Engine instance, make sure you have Storage permission in the edit section
6. download using gcloud commands the binlog file to the machine itself
7. start the beanstalkd service and woala, your persisted messages are there

you can setup on the same machine or other machines Beanstalkd Console Admin
