1. Go to the Google Cloud Console and select the project where your Spanner instance is located.
2. In the left-hand menu, select “Spanner.”
3. Click on the name of the Spanner instance you want to remediate.
4. In the Spanner instance details page, click on the “Backups” tab.
5. Click on the “Create Backup” button.
6. In the “Create Backup” dialog box, enter a name for the backup.
7. Select the “Frequency” at which you want the backups to be taken.
8. Select the “Retention period” for the backups.
9. Click on the “Create” button to create the backup.
10. Verify that the backup has been created by checking the “Backups” tab.

​

1. Open the Cloud Shell in the GCP console.
2. Run the following command to enable backups for the Spanner database:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   gcloud spanner databases update [DATABASE_ID] --backup-config enable-point-in-time-recovery
   

   Replace [DATABASE_ID] with the ID of the Spanner database that needs to have backups enabled.
3. Verify that the backups have been enabled by running the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   gcloud spanner databases describe [DATABASE_ID] --format="value(backupInfo.enableTime)"
   

   If the output displays a timestamp, it means that backups have been enabled for the database.
4. Repeat the above steps for all the Spanner databases in your GCP project.

1. Import the necessary libraries:

from google.cloud import spanner
from google.api_core.exceptions import NotFound

2. Set up the Spanner client:

client = spanner.Client()

3. Iterate through all the instances and databases in the project:

for instance in client.list_instances():
    for database in instance.list_databases():

4. Check if the backup configuration is set for the database:

try:
    backup_config = database.get_backup_config()
except NotFound:
    backup_config = None

5. If the backup configuration is not set, enable it:

if not backup_config:
    backup_config = spanner.BackupConfig(
        enabled=True,
        backup_retention_days=7,
        transaction_log_retention_days=2
    )
    database.update_backup_config(backup_config)

6. Print the status of the backup configuration:

if backup_config.enabled:
    print(f"Backup is enabled for database {database.database_id}.")
else:
    print(f"Backup is not enabled for database {database.database_id}.")

from google.cloud import spanner
from google.api_core.exceptions import NotFound

client = spanner.Client()

for instance in client.list_instances():
    for database in instance.list_databases():
        try:
            backup_config = database.get_backup_config()
        except NotFound:
            backup_config = None

        if not backup_config:
            backup_config = spanner.BackupConfig(
                enabled=True,
                backup_retention_days=7,
                transaction_log_retention_days=2
            )
            database.update_backup_config(backup_config)

        if backup_config.enabled:
            print(f"Backup is enabled for database {database.database_id}.")
        else:
            print(f"Backup is not enabled for database {database.database_id}.")
