We believe that regular backups are vital to ensure the security of your data against accidental errors, and Cloud SQL allows you to schedule backups taken daily. So, as from now, we will be turning on backups by default for new database instances created on the service. The instance remains online while the backup is taken, and 7 days of backups are stored without charge.
From Feb 20 2013, we will also turn on backups for all existing database instances that do not currently have them enabled. Please see https://developers.google.com/cloud-sql/docs/sched_backups for more information about automated backups.
Note that the storage of backups is included in the cost of a Cloud SQL instance. However, the process of backing up your instance will result in you being charged for the time that the instance is active (except in the case of free instances). A backup will be taken only if there have been changes to your data since the last backup. See https://developers.google.com/cloud-sql/docs/billing for more information about charges.
If you would NOT like backups enabled for your instance then please fill out this form by Feb 19 2013:

Alternatively you can disable backups from the Google Developers Console at any time
