GCP.Looker reference

InstancesBackup

Source: src/GCP/Looker/InstancesBackup.ts

A Looker (Google Cloud core) instance backup.

Backups are existence-only: the API exposes no mutable fields. Changing instance, location, or backupId replaces the backup. Looker instance backups have no labels or description, so Alchemy stamps ownership into a generated alch- backup id for list / nuke.

Create and delete are long-running operations. Provisioning a parent Looker instance is slow and billed; live lifecycle tests skipIf-gate behind FAST and the typed Looker API entitlement error.

Generated id

const backup = yield* GCP.Looker.InstancesBackup("Nightly", {
  instance: instance.name,
});

Explicit id and parent

const backup = yield* GCP.Looker.InstancesBackup("Nightly", {
  instance: "projects/my-project/locations/us-central1/instances/analytics",
  backupId: "alch-nightly",
});
