SYNOPSIS
    gcloud bigtable backups create
        (BACKUP : --cluster=CLUSTER --instance=INSTANCE) --table=TABLE
        (--expiration-date=EXPIRATION_DATE
          | --retention-period=RETENTION_PERIOD) [--async]
        [--backup-type=BACKUP_TYPE]
        [--hot-to-standard-time=HOT_TO_STANDARD_TIME] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    Creates a backup of a Cloud Bigtable table.

EXAMPLES
    To create a backup 'BACKUP_NAME' asyncronously from table 'TABLE_NAME'
    which expires at '2019-03-30T10:49:41Z', run:

        $ gcloud 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
    expires in 2 weeks from now, run:

        $ gcloud bigtable backups create BACKUP_NAME \
            --instance=INSTANCE_NAME --cluster=CLUSTER_NAME \
            --table=TABLE_NAME --retention-period=2w

    To create a hot backup 'BACKUP_NAME' from table 'TABLE_NAME' which expires
    in 2 weeks from now, run:

        $ gcloud bigtable backups create BACKUP_NAME \
            --instance=INSTANCE_NAME --cluster=CLUSTER_NAME \
            --table=TABLE_NAME --retention-period=2w --backup-type=HOT

    To create a hot backup 'BACKUP_NAME' from table 'TABLE_NAME' which will be
    converted to a standard backup at '2019-03-31T10:49:41Z' and expires in 2
    weeks from now, run:

        $ gcloud bigtable backups create BACKUP_NAME \
            --instance=INSTANCE_NAME --cluster=CLUSTER_NAME \
            --table=TABLE_NAME --retention-period=2w --backup-type=HOT \
            --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 bigtable backups create BACKUP_NAME \
            --instance=INSTANCE_NAME --cluster=CLUSTER_NAME \
            --table=TABLE_NAME --retention-period=2w --backup-type=HOT \
            --hot-to-standard-time=+P1w
