The Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service (section "Discontinuation of Services") defines the deprecation policy that applies to Backup and DR Service. The deprecation policy only applies to the services, features, or products listed therein.
After a service, feature, or product is officially deprecated, it continues to be available for at least the period of time defined in the Terms of Service. After this period of time, the service is scheduled for shutdown.
| Feature (status) | Deprecated date | Shutdown date | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backup for SAP ASE, SAP IQ, SAP MaxDB, MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL databases | July 31, 2026 | July 31, 2027 | Support for backing up the affected databases in the legacy
appliance management console is deprecated. End of new deployments: after July 31, 2026, new deployments of the affected databases in the appliance management console are no longer supported. End of support for new backups: the ability to create new backups for existing setups of the affected databases in the appliance management console ends on July 31, 2027. End of migration period: you must migrate any existing backup data that you want to retain from the appliance management console by December 30, 2027. To avoid losing your data, we recommend that you migrate your MySQL and PostgreSQL database instances to Google Cloud fully managed database services, such as Cloud SQL or AlloyDB for PostgreSQL. For other database types, use native database backup utilities or third-party backup solutions. For details, see the database backup migration guide. |
