Description

SQL database instances should be configured to be automatically backed up. Backups enable a Cloud SQL instance to recover lost data or to recover from a problem with that instance.

How to fix?

Set settings.backup_configuration.enabled attribute to true.

Example Configuration

resource "google_sql_database_instance" "allowed" {
  name             = "master-instance"
  database_version = "POSTGRES_11"
  region           = "us-central1"

  settings {

    tier = "db-f1-micro"
    backup_configuration {
      enabled = true
    }
  }
}
