# VolumeBackup

A VolumeBackup in Google Cloud is a point-in-time copy of a persistent disk or volume used for data protection and recovery. It allows users to back up data from persistent disks, store it securely, and restore it when needed. This helps ensure business continuity and data durability in case of accidental deletion, corruption, or system failure.

| create_time          | core | timestamp     | Output only. The timestamp when this VolumeBackup resource was created.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |

The minimum size of the disk to which this VolumeBackup can be restored.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
