Create GCP Backup Policy |Cloud ops| Zarthi

To configure an automated, secure, and cost-optimized backup policy in GCP for compute resources, ensuring data protection and disaster recovery readiness.

Best Practices

Test restore procedures monthly

Separate prod & non-prod backup policies

Monitor using Cloud Monitoring & Logs

Enable alerts for backup failures

This process defines how to configure automated backups in Google Cloud Platform to protect critical resources and support disaster recovery. It involves creating snapshot schedules for Compute Engine disks, enabling automated backups for Cloud SQL, and configuring backups for services like Filestore and GKE where applicable.
The policy specifies backup frequency, retention period, storage location, and security controls such as IAM roles and encryption. Proper implementation ensures data durability, compliance, and cost optimization, with regular monitoring and restore testing handled by Zarthi Cloud Ops.
