Ensure That Cloud SQL Database Instances Are Configured With Automated Backups

Backups provide a way to restore your Cloud SQL instance to recover lost data or recover from a problem with your instance. You should enable automated backups for any instance that contains data that you need to protect from loss or damage. When you enable automated backups, you specify a 4-hour backup window. The backup starts during the backup window. When possible, schedule backups when your instance has the least activity.
