        $ gcloud beta bigtable backups create BACKUP_NAME \
            --instance=INSTANCE_NAME --cluster=CLUSTER_NAME \
            --table=TABLE_NAME --expiration-date=2019-03-30T10:49:41Z \
            --async

    To create a backup BACKUP_NAME syncronously from table TABLE_NAME which

        $ gcloud beta bigtable backups create BACKUP_NAME \
            --instance=INSTANCE_NAME --cluster=CLUSTER_NAME \

            --hot-to-standard-time=2019-03-31T10:49:41Z

    To create a hot backup BACKUP_NAME from table TABLE_NAME which will be
    converted to a standard backup in 1 week from now and expires in 2 weeks
    from now, run:

        $ gcloud beta bigtable backups create BACKUP_NAME \
            --instance=INSTANCE_NAME --cluster=CLUSTER_NAME \
