Create an in-region backup vault:
gcloud netapp backup-vaults create BACKUP_VAULT \ --location = LOCATION \ --backup-vault-type = IN_REGION \ --description = DESCRIPTION \ --labels = foo = bar
Create an in-region backup vault with customer-managed encryption key (CMEK):
gcloud beta netapp backup-vaults create BACKUP_VAULT \ --location = LOCATION \ --backup-vault-type = IN_REGION \ --kms-config = projects/ PROJECT_ID /locations/ LOCATION /kmsConfigs/ KMS_NAME \ --description = DESCRIPTION \ --labels = foo = bar
Create a cross-region backup vault:
gcloud beta netapp backup-vaults create BACKUP_VAULT \ --location = LOCATION \ --backup-vault-type = CROSS_REGION \ --backup-region = REMOTE_LOCATION \ --description = DESCRIPTION \ --labels = foo = bar
Create a cross-region backup vault with customer-managed encryption key (CMEK):
gcloud beta netapp backup-vaults create BACKUP_VAULT \ --location = LOCATION \ --backup-vault-type = CROSS_REGION \ --backup-region = REMOTE_LOCATION \ --kms-config = projects/ PROJECT_ID /locations/ REMOTE_LOCATION /kmsConfigs/ KMS_NAME \ --description = DESCRIPTION \ --labels = foo = bar
Create a backup vault with deletion prevention:
gcloud beta netapp backup-vaults create BACKUP_VAULT \ --location = LOCATION \ --backup-region = REMOTE_LOCATION \ --backup-retention-policy = \ backup-minimum-enforced-retention-days = DAYS , \ daily-backup-immutable = FALSE , \ weekly-backup-immutable = TRUE , \ monthly-backup-immutable = FALSE , \ manual-backup-immutable = FALSE , \ --description = DESCRIPTION \ --labels = foo = bar
