NAME gcloud alpha filestore backups create - create a Filestore backup SYNOPSIS gcloud alpha filestore backups create BACKUP --file-share=FILE_SHARE --instance=INSTANCE --instance-zone=INSTANCE_ZONE --region=REGION [--async] [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--labels=KEY=VALUE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...] DESCRIPTION (ALPHA) Create a Filestore backup of an instance file share. This command can fail for the following reasons: ▪ A backup with the same name already exists. ▪ The active account does not have permission to create backups. EXAMPLES To create a backup with the name 'my-backup' and description 'My backup description' in a particular region like 'us-central1' from an instance called 'my-instance' in 'us-central1-c' and the source file share called 'my-fs', run: $ gcloud alpha filestore backups create my-backup \ --instance=my-instance --file-share=my-fs \ --instance-zone=us-central1-c --region=us-central1 \ --description="My backup description" POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS BACKUP Arguments and flags that specify the Filestore backup you want to create. REQUIRED FLAGS --file-share=FILE_SHARE File share name on the Filestore instance to backup. --instance=INSTANCE Share name of the Filestore instance you want to backup. --instance-zone=INSTANCE_ZONE Zone of the Filestore instance. --region=REGION Region (e.g. us-central1) for the backup. OPTIONAL FLAGS --async Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete. --description=DESCRIPTION Description for the backup. Limit: 2048 characters. --labels=KEY=VALUE List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

The full documentation for this API can be found at: https://cloud.google.com/filestore/ NOTES This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available: $ gcloud filestore backups create $ gcloud beta filestore backups create
