You can back up a Google Cloud BigQuery table on demand. If you run an incremental backup while a full backup is running, the incremental backup can successfully run in parallel with the full backup.
Note
The following limitations are imposed by Google Cloud Platform for incremental backups:
-
The change history flag is enabled on tables to support incremental backups.
-
All table changes made up to 10 minutes before an incremental back up starts are captured by the incremental back up.
-
Incremental backups that run at the same time that a full backup job is running will not back up new tables that are created after the start time of the full backup job.
Procedure
-
From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Databases.
The Databases page appears.
-
On the Instances page, click the instance that contains the table group to back up.
The instance properties page appears.
-
On the Table groups tab, for the table group that you want to back up, click the action button
, and then click Backup.The Backup options dialog box appears.

For the backup level, select Full or Incremental.
