# Backups for Google Cloud BigQuery

The backup plan that you select for a Google Cloud BigQuery instance manages scheduled backups. You can also perform on-demand backups at any time.

Important

On the Overview page of the subclient:

- Turn on the BigQuery metadata entities backup toggle to include routines and external connections in backups.

- Turn on the Enable time-consistent backups toggle to ensure point-in-time consistency by using the backup job start time as the reference timestamp for BigQuery exports.
