Is there a way to clone or copy a windows server r12 in google cloud? I have looked for a way but I couldn't find a way to clone/copy the server into a new windows server r12

You can create a Windows image using these instructions - it requires running sysprep and deleting the existing instance (but save the boot disk and then relaunch your initial instance). Then you can launch as many new copies as you need from the same image.

You can also use persistent disk snapshots to backup and duplicate the disk data:
