SQL Backup Retention

For image-level backups, Veeam Plug-In for Google Cloud retains restore points for the number of days defined in backup scheduling settings as described in section Creating SQL Policies.

The forever forward incremental backup method is not fully implemented for Cloud SQL instances — during every backup session Veeam Plug-In for Google Cloud creates a full backup in the regular backup chain (that is, every incremental backup contains the full instance data set). If Veeam Plug-In for Google Cloud detects an outdated restore point in a backup repository, it removes this restore point from the backup chain.
