Enhanced data resilience with cross-region backups in Backup and DR Service
Google Cloud's Backup and DR Service now offers cross-region backups, allowing users to decouple backup destinations from source regions for cost-effective data protection while maintaining control over data residency. This feature is available for Compute Engine instances, Disks, and Filestore, with support for Cloud SQL and AlloyDB to follow. Cross-region backups optimize costs, simplify compliance, and improve regional resilience. To implement, create a backup vault in a secondary region, configure a backup plan, and attach it to the resource. This provides a robust layer of protection against localized disasters.
