Set Automatic Backups to Yes and select the Backup Frequency and Backup Retention Period.
With the following configuration, two Snapshots will be created per day and held for seven days, 14 Snapshots in total.

Often you want to do a Backup before releasing a new version or feature of your application.
To create a Backup, click on the tab Snapshots and then on the button Create Snapshot top right.
Enter the Name of your Snapshot and click on the button Create Snapshot.
The Google Cloud will immediately start creating a Snapshot of your Instance.
