(ALPHA) Create a Filestore backup of an instance file share.
This command can fail for the following reasons:
A backup with the same name already exists.
The active account does not have permission to create backups.
To create a backup with the name 'my-backup' and description 'My backup description' in a particular region like 'us-central1' from an instance called 'my-instance' in 'us-central1-c' and the source file share called 'my-fs', run:
$ gcloud alpha filestore backups create my-backup \ --instance=my-instance --file-share=my-fs \ --instance-zone=us-central1-c --region=us-central1 \ --description="My backup description"

This command uses the file/v1p1alpha1 API. The full documentation for this API can be found at: https://cloud.google.com/filestore/
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. These variants are also available:
$ gcloud filestore backups create
$ gcloud beta filestore backups create
