# Backing Up a Google Cloud BigQuery Table On Demand

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

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

   The Databases page appears.

2. On the Instances page, click the instance that contains the table group to back up.

   The instance properties page appears.

3. 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.

4. For the backup level, select Full or Incremental.

5. Click Submit.
