GCP Big Table Admin Backup

A Cloud Bigtable Backup is a point-in-time copy of a Bigtable table that is managed by the Bigtable Admin API. It allows you to protect data against accidental deletion or corruption and to restore the table later, either in the same cluster or in a different one within the same instance. Each backup is stored in a specific cluster, retains the table’s schema and data as they existed at the moment the backup was taken, and can be kept for a user-defined retention period. Official documentation: https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/backups
