This page provides details on how to set up a backup schedule using the Google Cloud NetApp Volumes backup policies feature.
About backup policies
Backup policies define a schedule for automated backup creation. You can define how many daily, weekly, and monthly backups of your data you want NetApp Volumes to retain. If a policy is attached to a volume, then backups will generate automatically.
Scheduled backups
Scheduled backups are listed with the following format to help you identify the exact point in time each backup was taken which appears in the following format:
(daily|weekly|monthly)-scheduled-backup-<id>-<timestamp>
<YYYY>-<MM>-<DD>-<hhmmss>.
You can't control the exact time a scheduled backup is created. Scheduled backups that use a backup policy retain the number of specified daily, weekly, and monthly backups. If a new daily, weekly, or monthly backup is taken and the amount of backups retained is reached, the oldest daily, weekly, or monthly backup is deleted.
