run:

gcloud alpha backup-dr backup-plans update sample-backup-plan --project=sample-project --location=us-central1 --backup-rule <BACKUP-RULE> --backup-rule <BACKUP-RULE> --description "This is a sample backup plan"

To add backup rules to an existing backup plan sample-backup-plan in project sample-project, at location us-central1:

run:

gcloud alpha backup-dr backup-plans update sample-backup-plan --project=sample-project --location=us-central1 --add-backup-rule <BACKUP-RULE> --add-backup-rule <BACKUP-RULE>

To remove a backup rule with id sample-daily-rule from an existing backup plan sample-backup-plan in project sample-project, at location us-central1:

run:

gcloud alpha backup-dr backup-plans update sample-backup-plan --project=sample-project --location=us-central1 --remove-backup-rule sample-daily-rule

To override backup rules in an existing backup plan sample-backup-plan in project sample-project, at location us-central1, pass a file path containing backup rules in YAML or JSON format: This flag is mutually exclusive with --add-backup-rule, --remove-backup-rule and --backup-rule flags.

run:

gcloud alpha backup-dr backup-plans update sample-backup-plan --project=sample-project --location=us-central1 --backup-rules-fom-file <FILE_PATH>

Jobs are queued at the beginning of the window and will be marked as SKIPPED if they do not start by the end time. Jobs that are in progress will not be canceled at the end time.
