Preview — Enhanced backups
This feature is subject to the "Pre-GA Offerings Terms" in the General Service Terms section of the Service Specific Terms. You can process personal data for this feature as outlined in the Cloud Data Processing Addendum, subject to the obligations and restrictions described in the agreement under which you access Google Cloud. Pre-GA features are available "as is" and might have limited support. For more information, see the launch stage descriptions.
This page describes how to enable and manage enhanced backups for your Cloud SQL instances and projects.
Enhanced backups allow you to use Backup and DR Service with your Cloud SQL instances to manage your backups. For more information, see Enhanced backups. For more information on how backups work in Cloud SQL and the available options for your instances, see About Cloud SQL backups.
Before you beginBefore you can manage enhanced backups for your Cloud SQL instances, you must do the following:
To use enhanced backups with your Cloud SQL instances, you must first enable the Backup and DR API:
Required permissionsThe following permissions are required to configure enhanced backups for your Cloud SQL instances:
backupdr.backupPlans.list
backupdr.backupPlanAssociations.createForCloudSqlInstance
backupdr.backupPlanAssociations.fetchForCloudSqlInstance
backupdr.backupPlanAssociations.list
backupdr.backupPlanAssociations.getForCloudSqlInstance
backupdr.backupPlanAssociations.triggerBackupForCloudSqlInstance
backupdr.backupPlanAssociations.deleteForCloudSqlInstance
backupdr.backupPlans.useForCloudSqlInstance
backupdr.bvdataSources.get
backupdr.bvdataSources.list
For more information about these permissions, see Backup and DR roles and permissions.
Enable enhanced backupsTo enable enhanced backups for your instance, do the following:
For more information about enhanced backups, see About Cloud SQL backups.
Identify the backup plan you want to useThe backup plan is used by enhanced backups to define your instance's backup schedule and retention settings. To associate your Cloud SQL instance with a backup plan, you need to first identify the backup plan you want to use. For more information, see Create and manage a backup plan.
Important: The backup plan you want to use must be in the same region as your Cloud SQL instance.Once you've identified the backup plan you want to associate, use the backup plan name to associate it with your Cloud SQL instance.
Associate a backup plan to a Cloud SQL instance Warning: When you attach a backup plan to a Cloud SQL instance, the existing backup and restore settings are overwritten by the backup plan.To associate a backup plan with a Cloud SQL instance, you'll need the name for the backup plan you want to use. For more information on how to find the backup plan name, see Create and manage a backup plan.
ConsoleTo associate a backup plan with your Cloud SQL instance, do the following:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud SQL Instances page.
Find the instance you want to associate the backup plan with. To open the Overview page of the instance, click the instance name.
Click Edit.
In the Data Protection section, under Backup tier, select Enhanced backup tier.
In the Backup plan section, click Select.
In the Select a backup plan window, do the following:
Under Project, click Browse, then search for and select the Backup and DR project that contains the backup plan.
Once you select the project, you'll see a list of all available backup plans. Find the backup plan you want to use, then click Select.
Click Save.
Your instance is enabled for enhanced backups and using the associated backup plan's backup and retention settings.
Caution: This might cause your instance to restart.To associate a backup plan with your Cloud SQL instance, run the following command:
gcloud backup-dr backup-plan-associations create BACKUP_PLAN_ASSOCIATION_NAME
--project=PROJECT_ID
--resource=INSTANCE_ID
--backup-plan=BACKUP_PLAN_NAME
--resource-type=sqladmin.googleapis.com/Instance

Replace the following:
To create a backup plan association, use the backupPlanAssociations
method in the Backup and DR API.

After you instance is enabled for enhanced backups and a backup plan is associated with the instance, you can perform an on-demand backup, view all the backups in the backup vault, or change the associated backup plan.
To manage a backup plan, see Create and manage a backup plan. To manage a backup vault, see Create and manage a backup vault.
Change your instance's associated backup planYou can change the associated backup plan with your Cloud SQL instance. To change the backup plan applied to your Cloud SQL instance, the new plan must be in the same backup vault as your current backup plan, and be in the same region as your Cloud SQL instance.
To change the associated backup plan, you must:
Remove the associated backup planTo change to a new backup plan, you must first remove the existing backup plan association from your Cloud SQL instance. To remove the backup plan, do the following:
ConsoleIn the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud SQL Instances page.
Find the instance you want to change the backup option for. To open the Overview page of an instance, click the instance name.
Click Edit.
In the Data Protection section, under Backup tier, select the Standard backup tier. Update the standard backups settings for your instance as necessary.
Click Save.
The instance's associated backup plan is deleted and your instance is now managed under the standard backups option. You can now associate the new backup plan to your instance.
