GCP Sql Admin Backup

A GCP Sql Admin Backup resource represents a point-in-time, full-instance backup created by the Cloud SQL service. Backups are managed through the Cloud SQL Admin API and allow you to restore an entire Cloud SQL instance to the exact state captured at the moment the backup was taken. They form a critical part of your disaster-recovery and data-protection strategy, and can be scheduled automatically or triggered on demand.
For more information, see the official Google Cloud documentation: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/admin-api/rest/v1/backupRuns#BackupRun

gcp-sql-admin-backup-run​

Each backup is realised as one or more individual backup runs. A gcp-sql-admin-backup-run holds the execution-time metadata (status, size, start/end timestamps, etc.) for a single occurrence of the backup represented by this resource.

gcp-sql-admin-instance​

The backup is always associated with a single Cloud SQL instance. This link lets you trace which database instance the backup protects and from which it can be restored.

gcp-cloud-kms-crypto-key​

If customer-managed encryption is enabled, the backup is encrypted with a specific Cloud KMS CryptoKey. Following this link shows the exact key used, helping you verify key ownership, rotation policies and potential revocation risks.
