# Backing Up a Database Group for Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

You can perform a full backup operation of a Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL database group.

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Databases.

   The Instances page appears.

2. Click the instance.

   The instance page appears.

3. In the Database groups table, click the database group that you want to back up.

   The database group page appears.

4. Click Backup.

   The Select backup level dialog box appears.

5. Under Backup level, select Full.

6. Click OK.

Note

- If the database part of a database group (other than default) is renamed or removed, the backup content for the database group needs to be updated manually. The old database will not be removed automatically.

- By default, backup operations using DumpBased backup set do not include information about roles. This is because `pg_dump` utility that is used to perform DumpBased backup operation does not back up roles information. To save this information using the `pg_dumpall` utility, enable backups for global objects in PostgreSQL databases.
