$ gcloud alpha container backup-restore backups create my-backup \ --project=my-project --location=us-central1 \ --backup-plan=my-backup-plan --wait-for-completion

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

Backup resource - Name of the backup to create. Once the backup is created,

this name can't be changed. This must be 63 or fewer characters long and must be unique within the project, location, and backup plan. The name may be provided either as a relative name, e.g. projects/<project>/locations/<location>/backupPlans/<backupPlan>/backups/<backup> or as a single ID name (with the parent resources provided via options or through properties), e.g. BACKUP --project=<project> --location=<location> --backup_plan=<backupPlan>. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways. To set the project attribute:

provide the argument backup on the command line with a fully specified name;

provide the argument --project on the command line;

set the property core/project.

This must be specified.

BACKUP

ID of the backup or fully qualified identifier for the backup. To set the name attribute:

  • provide the argument backup on the command line.

This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--backup-plan=BACKUP_PLAN

Backup Plan name. To set the backup-plan attribute:

  • provide the argument backup on the command line with a fully specified name;

  • provide the argument --backup-plan on the command line;

  • set the property gkebackup/backup_plan.

--location=LOCATION

Google Cloud location. To set the location attribute:

  • provide the argument backup on the command line with a fully specified name;

  • provide the argument --location on the command line;

  • set the property gkebackup/location.

FLAGS

--delete-lock-days=DELETE_LOCK_DAYS

Delete lock days specifies the number of days from the createTime of this Backup before which deletion will be blocked. Must be >= the value in the backup plan. If not specified, inherited from the backup plan. Manual creation of a backup with this field unspecified causes the service to use the value of backupPlan.RetentionPolicy.backupDeleteBlockDays. Creation of a backup with this field set to a value SMALLER than backupPlan.RetentionPolicy.backupDeleteBlockDays results in an invalid response from the service. This field MUST be an int value between 0-90(inclusive). This field may only be INCREASED in an update command, or an invalid response will be returned by the service.

--description=DESCRIPTION

Optional text description for the backup being created.

--labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]

List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

--retain-days=RETAIN_DAYS

Retain days specifies the desired number of days from the createTime of this backup after which it will be automatically deleted. If not specified or set to 0, it means the backup will NOT be automatically deleted. Manual creation of a backup with this field unspecified causes the service to use the value of backupPlan.retentionPolicy.backupRetainDays. Creation of a Backup with this field set to a value SMALLER than delete_lock_days results in an invalid response from the service. This field may ONLY be increased in an Update request, or an invalid response will be returned by the service immediately. Default to 0 if not provided.

At most one of these can be specified:
--async

Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.

--wait-for-completion

Wait for the created backup to complete.

NOTES

This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. This variant is also available:
