Manage standard backups

MySQL | PostgreSQL | SQL Server

Warning: All data on an instance, including backups, is permanently lost when that instance is deleted. To preserve your data, you can either take a final backup of your instance at time of deletion, enableretained backups for your instance before you delete it, orexport your data to Cloud Storage before you delete it.

This page describes how to manage backups for your instance that usesthestandard backupsoption. This includes how to schedule and turn off automatic backups, createand manage on-demand backups, and view backups for your Cloud SQLinstance. If your instance is using enhanced backups, seeManage enhanced backups.

For more information about how backups work, seeCloud SQL backups overview.For more information about the backup options available for yourCloud SQL instances, seeChoose your backup option.

Note: If your instance was created before the enhanced backups launch,then your instance is using the standard backups option. To upgrade yourinstance to the enhanced backups option, seeEnable enhanced backups.

Configure automated backups

Automated backups are taken on a schedule cadence while your instance isrunning. You can also set the retention period for your automated backups.For more information about how automated backups work, seeAutomated backups.

Schedule automated backups

To schedule automated backups for an instance:

Console

In the Google Cloud console, go to theCloud SQL Instances page.
Go to Cloud SQL Instances
To open theOverview page of an instance, click the instance name.
SelectBackups from the SQL navigation menu.
ClickEdit, next toSettings.
Choose a window of time for your data to be automatically backed up.
ClickSave.

gcloud

Edit the instance to specify a backup start time:
```
gcloudsqlinstancespatchINSTANCE_NAME--backup-start-time=HH:MM
```
Thebackup-start-time parameter is specified in a 24-hour time format, in the UTC±00 time zone, and specifies the start of a 4-hour backup window. Backups can start any time during the backup window.
Confirm your changes:
```
gcloudsqlinstancesdescribeINSTANCE_NAME
```
In thebackupConfiguration section, confirm that you seeenabled: true and the time that you specified.

Terraform

To create a backup for a database, use aTerraform resource.

resource "google_sql_database_instance" "instance" {  name             = "postgres-instance-backup"  region           = "us-central1"  database_version = "POSTGRES_14"  settings {    tier = "db-custom-2-7680"    backup_configuration {      enabled    = true      start_time = "20:55"    }  }  # set `deletion_protection` to true, will ensure that one cannot accidentally delete this instance by  # use of Terraform whereas `deletion_protection_enabled` flag protects this instance at the GCP level.  deletion_protection = false}

Apply the changes

To apply your Terraform configuration in a Google Cloud project, complete the steps in the following sections.

Prepare Cloud Shell

LaunchCloud Shell.
Set the default Google Cloud project where you want to apply your Terraform configurations.
You only need to run this command once per project, and you can run it in any directory.
```
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=PROJECT_ID
```
Environment variables are overridden if you set explicit values in the Terraform configuration file.

Prepare the directory

Each Terraform configuration file must have its own directory (alsocalled aroot module).

InCloud Shell, create a directory and a new file within that directory. The filename must have the.tf extension—for examplemain.tf. In this tutorial, the file is referred to asmain.tf.
```
mkdirDIRECTORY && cdDIRECTORY && touch main.tf
```
If you are following a tutorial, you can copy the sample code in each section or step.
Copy the sample code into the newly createdmain.tf.
Optionally, copy the code from GitHub. This is recommended when the Terraform snippet is part of an end-to-end solution.
Review and modify the sample parameters to apply to your environment.
Save your changes.
Initialize Terraform. You only need to do this once per directory.
```
terraform init
```
Optionally, to use the latest Google provider version, include the-upgrade option:
```
terraform init -upgrade
```

Apply the changes

Review the configuration and verify that the resources that Terraform is going to create or update match your expectations:
```
terraform plan
```
Make corrections to the configuration as necessary.
Apply the Terraform configuration by running the following command and enteringyes at the prompt:
```
terraform apply
```
Wait until Terraform displays the "Apply complete!" message.
Open your Google Cloud project to view the results. In the Google Cloud console, navigate to your resources in the UI to make sure that Terraform has created or updated them.

Note: Terraform samples typically assume that the required APIs are enabled in your Google Cloud project.

Delete the changes

To delete your changes, do the following:

To disable deletion protection, in your Terraform configuration file set thedeletion_protection argument tofalse.
```
deletion_protection =  "false"
```
Apply the updated Terraform configuration by running the following command and enteringyes at the prompt:
```
terraform apply
```

Remove resources previously applied with your Terraform configuration by running the following command and enteringyes at the prompt:
```
terraform destroy
```

Delete a backup

You can delete automated and on-demand backups.

Deleting a backup might notfree up as much space as the size of the backup. This is because backups areincremental, so deleting an older backup might transfer some of its contentsto a more recent backup to preserve the integrity of the newer backup.

Console

In the Google Cloud console, go to theCloud SQL Instances page.
Go to Cloud SQL Instances
To open theOverview page of an instance, click the instance name.
SelectBackups from the SQL navigation menu.

Set a custom location for backups

Only use a custom backup location if required by regulation. If notrequired, use the default multi-region backup location.

You can use a custom location for on-demand and automatic backups. For acomplete list of valid location values, see theInstance locations.

Note:If you change the location where backups are stored, existing backups remain in their original location.

Note: Backups fail if they are in a region the organization policy does not allow. Backups taken in the same region as the instance always succeed, regardless of the organization policy or other constraints.

To update an instance with a custom location:

Console

In the Google Cloud console, go to theCloud SQL Instances page.
Go to Cloud SQL Instances
To open theOverview page of an instance, click the instance name.
From the SQL navigation menu, selectBackups.
Next toSettings, clickEdit.

View a list of backups during an outage

When an instance is in a region that is having an outage, you can only viewbackups for that instance using a wildcard (-) with thebackupRuns.list API.The wildcard returns all backups in the project. SeeRestoring to a different instance.

When there's an outage in a region where an instance has customer-managedencryption keys (CMEK) enabled, you can't restore the backups for that instanceto a different region. The reason is because Cloud SQL usesregional Cloud KMS keysfor encryption when CMEK is enabled on the instance. To restore backups for aCMEK instance, Cloud SQL must have access to the CMEK key. In a regionaloutage, there's no access to the Cloud KMS keys in that region.

gcloud

List the backups for every instance in a project:

gcloudsqlbackupslist--instance-

The command returns information similar to the following:
