How backup a instance image in another project or service

Hi!

I'm trying to schedule a VM to start and stop in a specific time, but when I try to add my instance the following error is presented:


Compute Engine System service account service-xxxxxxxxxxx@compute-system.iam.gserviceaccount.com needs to have [compute.instances.start,compute.instances.stop] permissions applied in order to perform this operation.

It seems to be a default service account but I don't know why my project do not have it. I was thinking about disable and enable my Compute Engine API again and see if it is going to be created again, but I have a VM in my project and it is working perfectly with all services needed.

I don't want to reconfigure it from scratch, but all the ways to backup it that I know is inside Compute Engine itself and on the same project, which means everything's going to be wiped when I disable the API.

Do you guys have any advice for my situation? Thank you in advance!
