Obviously, it's easier to let Google automatically handle backups of Cloud SQL <https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/backup-recovery#schedulebackups> - you don't need to handle it yourself. But if you absolutely must have a way to export and save backups of Cloud SQL programmatically, you can use the REST API. In particular, you want to use the Admin API's Export endpoint: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/admin-api/v1beta1/instances/export . A word of caution: export operations do not happen immediately, they may take some time to execute and save to the GCS bucket. Don't expect the dump file to be available until some time has passed. ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Consultant Chicago, IL App Engine Code Samples: http://www.learntogoogleit.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
